how to handle lua unicode parameter ?

[leather]

When I call lua_dostring with parameters in chinese wow client and korean wow client.it won't execute. for example:
lua function :AddFirend("playername")
when playername is english letter,it work perfectly.when playername is other character ,it won't work.

AddFriend("당신을 사랑합니다") or AddFriend("我爱你")

how to handle this?

Wow uses UTF8 Encoding use that and it should work.
Atleast it works when you read strings out of non english clients.

Nesox: Thanks for the Information.

I got a similar problem by playernames with special letters, like äüö.

The following is only an assumption, cant test it, couse im at work.

You need to convert all UnicodeStrings send to a WoW-function like Lua_DoString to UTF8Strings.
WinAPI: WideCharToMultiByte

All Strings you get from WoW-functions like Lua_ToString are UTF8, so you need to convert them to Unicode.
WinAPI: MultiByteToWideChar
