Looks amazing! I want this!

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.
