Cool app!

I am making a flash card deck for learning Portuguese phrases and I ran into a display problem. Characters with accents are not displaying correctly on the playdate. Has anyone gotten special characters to work successfully? 

Examples from my deck:

  • Where do you work?\Onde você trabalha? (você displayed as voc)
  • How do you say ‘game’ in Portuguese?\Como se diz ‘game’ em português? (Single quotes are dropped and português is displayed as portugus)
  • I don’t  know  yet.\Ainda não sei. (não is displayed as no)


With the fonts "pixel" and "sans" the special characters seem to get dropped. With menu option Custom Fonts:Off the special characters are replaced with a white box.

I saved the text file with Unicode UTF-8 encoding. The linked webpage for the font "pixel" (UniPixels Plane0) shows the special characters.

Thanks! I’ll have to add those characters to the fonts. I’m afraid it will have to wait until after Christmas. Apologies.
