OriginPro 2021b (64-bit) Beta 5 9.8.5.105
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Greetings!
I want to create a pseudo graphical output from my LT script and use the special ASCII characters in Output window, for example box-drawing characters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character):
╔,═,╗.
However, the Code Builder and Output window display ╔ like:
Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you.

Which output window? The message log works it seems but Script Window does not.
type.redirection=1024;
type "begin";
type "╔======╗";
type "end";
Currently there is no escape code for unicode character, do you think that is useful? Like to see the code above written instead as
type.redirection=1024;
type "begin";
type "\u2554======\u2557";
type "end";

While working in Code Builder I redirect output to Output window of the Code Builder:
type.redirection=32; // Redirect output to Output window
If I call:
type.redirection=1024;
type "begin";
type "\u2554======\u2557";
type "end";
then I the following in the Message Log:
Anyway, I think that using box-drawing characters is an old-shool, but cool and useful technique.
Thus, it would be great to have escape codes for Unicode characters.
By the way, if I paste:
type.redirection=1024;
type "begin";
type "╔======╗";
type "end";
to the Code Builder's editor window, then I observe:

I was asking if it would be useful to support \u, but from what you tried, seems like it would, as the Code Builder source code file might be ANSI so paste text including Unicode character can be problematic, so \u will allow source code still ANSI but to generate Unicode string.

I agree.
The support would be great!

We just released Beta6 and the following will work
type.redirection = 32;//Output Window
type "begin";
type "\u2554====\u2557";
type "end";

Output window still shows this incorrectly:
Is this a font issue?

Probably a font issue. Can you try Message Log?
type.redirection = 1024;

Hi AKazak,
Would you mind to open Control Panel, go to region and language dialog, Administrative tab,
What is the setting for "Current language for non-Unicode programs"?

Can you try in beta7 if this has fixed your case?
Also, beta7 allow font for Message Log and Output to be set from origin.ini
[Font]
Output=Terminal
MsgLog=Magneto

Here is what I get in 2021b Beta 7:
What monospaced TrueType font do you recommend using?

There are not many monospaced fonts, and I tried
Consolas
and it showed the correct unicode for the corners, can you try?

Can you list all monospaced fonts that may be used by Origin, please?
As for origin.ini: I found one file in Origin installation directory and another --- in the UFF. Which one should I edit?

Origin will use whatever is in your Windows. You can find all the fonts by going to Code Builder
Tools > Options > Text Editor > Font and Colors
this will change only the fonts used in the editor, but you can see all the fonts in your system there.
As for Origin.ini, change the one in your UFF.

OK, got it!
However
[Font]
Output=Terminal
produced incorrect symbols:
What could be a reason for this?
By the way, how do I find the default fonts for Message Log and Output Window?

To find the default font, from script window type
system.font.=
Terminal font certainly won't have those Unicode characters. Did you try "Consolas"?
