Unicode support

REPORTER has basic unicode (i.e. non-latin characters) support. This means that if you have the appropriate language kit and fonts installed on your computer you can input and use European accented, Japanese, Korean and Chinese characters. On Windows you can input unicode characters using the normal IME (global Input Method Editor).

The XML format that REPORTER uses to save files supports unicode.

As Japanese, Korean and Chinese have many common ideographs, but these may have different appearances depending on the font there is a preference in REPORTER which allows you to set the default language you want to use, reporter*cjk_default which can be either Chinese , Japanese or Korean .

Note that although REPORTER has unicode support, currently D3PLOT , T/HIS and Ansys LS-DYNA do not so you should not use unicode characters in filenames.
