Post From: Potential bug displaying UTF-8 text

I have the following code that places multiline text on the chart. UTF-8 characters print correctly sometimes but not consistently. Here is what I would expect to be printed: 1: ␀ 2: ┌ 3: ⨍ 4: ␀ ┌ 5: ⨍ ┌ 6: ␀ ⨍ 7: ␀ ⨍ ┌ Here is what actually prints: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1625178712716.png I cannot understand why lines 1, 3, 6 do not display the symbol properly, yet lines 2, 4, 5, 7 are correct. The ⨍ and ␀ characters only print correctly when there is also a ┌ on the same line. If anybody can reproduce this, or shed any light on what is happening, that would be appreciated. If I create this as a user drawing, I can right-click and inspect the text properties and I see the correct symbols are there. They just aren't rendering properly on the chart. // Some attributes removed for clarity s_UseTool content; content.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST; content.DrawingType = DRAWING_STATIONARY_TEXT; content.MultiLineLabel = 1; content.Text = "1: \xE2\x90\x80 \n" // ␀ "2: \xE2\x94\x8C \n" // ┌ "3: \xE2\xA8\x8D \n" // ⨍ "4: \xE2\x90\x80 \xE2\x94\x8C \n" // ␀ ┌ "5: \xE2\xA8\x8D \xE2\x94\x8C \n" // ⨍ ┌ "6: \xE2\x90\x80 \xE2\xA8\x8D \n" // ␀ ⨍ "7: \xE2\x90\x80 \xE2\xA8\x8D \xE2\x94\x8C \n"; // ␀ ⨍ ┌ content.FontFace = "Consolas"; sc.UseTool(content);
