Hey, I'm using TJSON for my master's thesis and I'm having issues when using strings with special characters (áàâãéêúíóõôç). When I encode (and then decode) them, they seem to get messed up ("salmão" gets drawn as "salm") but the strings are drawn normally when I don't encode+decode them with TJSON. It's not just when drawing, it happens any time I use TJSON on a string.

Any ideas on how I could prevent this? If necessary, I could probably get away with converting them to ASCII, turning "salmão" into "salm~ao" and then converting back, but I'd prefer to avoid that sort of hack, of course. Thanks a lot.

EDIT: I should mention that I'm using GameMaker: Studio 1.4.9999

I'll take a look but not entirely sure what's up - TJSON is specifically written with UTF-8 support, and would successfully display non-English names in Nuclear Throne.

If this is not as simple as tj_encode-ing a string and then tj_decode-ing it back to find it messed up, please provide a sample snippet that breaks it.

Here's a small example. If you run this in a Draw Event, you'll notice that the black words look correct, while the red ones only show a part of the word correctly. It seems that tj_encode() is to blame.

var obj = tj_object("salmão", "Cátia");
var xx = room_width/2;
var yy = 100;
draw_set_halign(fa_center);
draw_set_color(c_black);
draw_text(xx, yy, "salmão");
draw_text(xx, yy+50, "calças");
draw_text(xx, yy+100, "Nazaré");
draw_set_color(c_maroon);
draw_text(xx, yy+150, tj_encode("salmão"));
draw_text(xx, yy+200, tj_decode(tj_encode("salmão")));
draw_text(xx, yy+250, tj_decode(tj_encode("calças")));
draw_text(xx, yy+300, tj_decode(tj_encode("Nazaré")));
draw_set_color(c_green);
draw_text(xx, yy+350, tj_get(obj, "salmão"));
draw_text(xx, yy+400, tj_encode(obj));

By the way, I was able to circumvent the problem with that trick I mentioned, so I don't have any urgency in getting this fixed. Let me know if I can help further!

EDIT: I tested with some Japanese characters and they also disappeared. However, I tested tj_encode("вадим") and it displayed "2048<" with the quotes included.

This is fixed in the new version (sorry for slight delay - I also had to figure out how to update the marketplace version)

Great, thanks a lot! This extension is really handy.
