While it shows up fine in the chatbox, etc., which uses Internet Explorer, BYOND-rendered text fails to display characters above 128/0x80.
Example of issue:
As you can see, it shows up fine in the chatbox on the right and the View Variables window, which both use Internet Explorer.
However, as you can see in the bottom left, it doesn't work in the status bar. As these characters are supported by BYOND, I'm rather confused by this.
Solutions I've tried:
As you can see in this image, I attempted to use HTML escape codes to use the characters; however, that didn't work. My suspicion is that it's because BYOND doesn't use HTML for the status bar, and instead renders the text directly.
That doesn't, however, explain why a character that's supported by its encoding doesn't work.
