Well, I’ve been trying to make a simple menu, and at this point its just a bunch of echos, it doesn’t even do anything complicated. And it’s not complicated. Or so I thought. When trying to display characters such as (alt+186)(\u2551) or (alt+200)(\u255a) or (alt+204)(\u2560), to make a simple visual folder tree, it forces me to save it as Unicode or Unicode big endian or utf8 because the ASCII doesn’t recognize the symbols. So if I continue to save it in ASCII it all turns to dashes and plus signs. If I change it to something else and run it, it simply won’t work. The interesting thing is, if I open command prompt, it does allow me to directly type in the characters, and some of them are even used in the \/tree command!! I have searched all over the internet, and below I’ll list everything I’ve tried<\/p>\n
Copy the symbols into wordpad (they change to something different) and then copy them back to notepad. Save and run, the symbols should appear.
\n-Well, when I copy them back out of wordpad they return to normal. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Add chcp 65001 to the beginning of the code.
\n– Allright, but then I’m forced to save it as something other than ASCII encoding because ASCII reverts the symbols to pluses and dashes, and it still doesn’t work if I save it in a different encoding.<\/p>\n
well how about chcp 1252?
\n– Nope, same as above \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":14},"question-category":[55],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-8182","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-programming"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/8182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=8182"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=8182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
