I have found 2 posts from 2007 (https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums....;afv=topic) and 2008 (https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums....;afv=topic) mentioning unicode support being added in a future version of FinalBuilder. I would like to use a unicode value in a project variable and I simply get a string of "?" characters. Is there something I'm missing? I am running FB 6.3.0.1506. Thanks.

Hi Shawn
We were waiting on compiler support for unicode, which we do now have. The next major version of FB will have full support for Unicode. We have spent the last 6 months working on unit tests and then unicode support (not a simple task). Most of the core is done and many of the actions, we are now working on the IDE. Much of the effort has gone into replacing third party libraries that were not unicode aware or the vendor was no longer around. The result is that this whole dev cycle has taken much longer than we had planned. At this stage I’m not ready to start talking about release dates but I will say we are working hard to make it happen as soon as possible.
