Cyrillic not being decoded properly

[CGNick]

Hey folks, I am currently trying to make a small program which will read off some text in cyrillic, however it doesn't get decoded properly. Even though it is in UTF-8 it reads it as if its ANSI. I figured that Love2D doesn't support UTF-8, but I checked and apparently it does in 0.8.0, so I am not sure if I am doing something wrong here. If anyone can help me test this, just make a small example code to read off a text file containing абвгд and see what you get with that. Thanks in advance

the cyrillic text comes from a text file? if so, then make sure you save it with the proper encoding, if I remember correct, you need "UTF-8 without BOM"

It might help if you show us what you've got, and upload your .love as an attachment.

Wow I feel like an idiot now. The problem was that I was debugging this in the console and for some reason I guess it decodes it wierd-like. But when I enter cyrillic text on the screen and I make it use a font that has Cyrillic, such as Arial, it displays properly. Really sorry for wasting time with this. Thread can be closed.

Lua's inbuilt print function (or any of the standard lua functions, for that matter) do not handle utf-8. Love's print (the one from love.graphics), and supposedly any other functions that have to deal with utf-8, do.. hopefully..
