We try to input Hebrew charactor in Keil C 2.20a, while it displayed as "????". Can Keil C support multi language input? How? Looking forward for your help.
Thanks Gentlemen. So, for C51 MCU, if I want to support unicode input, what kind of complier we can use? Could you please give me some suggestion about the tools?
I tried to ask you in the first answer you got in this thread if you wanted Hebrew I/O or if you wanted Hebrew in the source code.
I don't think any compiler has native support for unicode or MBCS or similar, but the good part is that if you just want to send and receive Hebrew on a serial port you can use any compiler.
First you have to decide what character formatting you want to use. A multi-byte character set requires you to recognize the magic break bytes that informs that at a character is 2 or 3 bytes long when receiving data.
When emitting data, you can store any character data as hex data in the source code - the uC doesn't have to know that it isn't ASCII data it emits.
