v6.11 Win10 - Greek/Unicode characters do not show correctly

[amagalma]

If I try to write for example "Καλημέρα" it appears in IDE as "ÊáëçìÝñá".
If I enter it as a track name then it appears correctly.
If I cut it from the track name (or from another application) and paste it into the IDE then it appears correctly. But writing it directly to the IDE does not work.

Also, this happens:

msg = "Καλημέρα"
reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(msg .. "\n")

len = #msg
i = 0
while true do
  i = i + 1
  k = msg:sub(i,i)
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(k)
  if i == len then break end
end

Console result:

Καλημέρα
ΚαλημÎ*Ï�α

Could you please have a look at this?

Yeah, this is also with some common other things like €.

You can successfully add them into the script via an external editor and load them successfully in the IDE but you can't type them.
But if loaded from an externally created file, (or paste via clipboard), € is even shown in the watchlist.

Unicode+the wobbly Alt-Gr-key-management is probably the biggest downfall currently in ReaScript.

At this point the curses editor doesn't support non Latin characters for input. In general I don't think it's a very good idea to have code that is not Latin. A better approach for such case would be to have an additional file (possibly UTF-8) and load your strings from there; if there's a need for a symbol and such just use hexadecimal directly.

This seems to work:

msg = "Καλημέρα! (means 'good morning')"
reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(msg .. "\n")

for byte_pos, char in utf8.codes(msg) do
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(utf8.char(char))
end

But typing Greek directly into the IDE remains an issue.
