If unicode is not defined, the output is Hello world, 100 is the sum
If unicode is defined, the output is Hello world, 〱0 is the sum
What am I doing wrong?
__UNICODE__ equ 1
include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
.data
MyArray dd 25, 18, 23, 17, 9, 2, 6
.code
start:
print "Hello world, "
xor ebx, ebx ; set two non-volatile
xor esi, esi ; registers to zero
.Repeat
add esi, MyArray[4*ebx]
inc ebx
.Until ebx>=lengthof MyArray
inkey str$(esi), " is the sum"
exit
end start
Should be ebx+4 not ebx*4 ?? Kiptron
Hello,
On Windows 10, the output displays a question mark symbol inside a square.

This usually happens when an Unicode code point cannot be properly resolved or displayed.
This can happen when you mix Unicode text with Ansi functions or vice versa.

So, despite the Unicode def on top, str$() remains Ansi??
Hello,
QuoteThis can happen when you mix Unicode text with Ansi functions or vice versa.
I didn't mix anything. I guess there is a problem with the print macro used by inkey :
__UNICODE__ equ 0
include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
.code
start:
inkey str$(100), " test1"
invoke ExitProcess,0
END startI get the same question mark symbol here.
There is numerous macros who can change with UNNICODE.
Made a listing of your code or use dumpbin /DISASM to made appear the problem.
Hi
On my distribution, the macros.asm contains the str$ macro, that looks like:
str$ MACRO DDvalue
LOCAL rvstring
.data
rvstring db 20 dup (0)
align 4
.code
invoke dwtoa,DDvalue,ADDR rvstring
EXITM <ADDR rvstring>
ENDM
Finally looking for dwtoa, I found it in MASM32\m32lib. This proc is intended for Ansi chars.

Hi Jochen,
Replacing str$ with ustr$ solves the problem :
inkey ustr$(esi), " is the sum"
Reading macros.asm :
; -----------------------------------------
; MSVCRT ASCII & UNICODE integer conversion
; -----------------------------------------
ustr$ MACRO number
LOCAL buffer
.data?
buffer TCHAR 40 dup (?)
align 4
.code
IFNDEF __UNICODE__
invoke crt__itoa,number,ADDR buffer,10
ELSE
invoke crt__itow,number,ADDR buffer,10
ENDIF
EXITM <eax>
ENDM
sstr$ MACRO number
LOCAL buffer
.data?
buffer TCHAR 40 dup (?)
align 4
.code
IFNDEF __UNICODE__
invoke crt__ltoa,number,ADDR buffer,10
ELSE
invoke crt__ltow,number,ADDR buffer,10
ENDIF
EXITM <eax>
ENDM

Right. For MasmBasic, I've chosen to implement separately Str$() and wStr$() (http://www.jj2007.eu/MasmBasicQuickReference.htm#Mb1186). The idea to declare once on top "this is Unicode, folks" is cute but it's a can of worms. Does anybody here on the forum have a source that has
__UNICODE__ equ 1 on top and more than a hundred lines? I doubt it.
Out of luck here, I have a full unicode editor but it was done before the equate. It uses the unicode functions in the masm32 library.
