    Why some greek characters inside txt files are "hieroglyphs"?


    Hi,Does One Drive changing the characters in txt file? How can i change that? I want to change from "hieroglyphs" to greek . Why is this happening?I have noticed in some txt files where they are normal Greek characters it shows "hieroglyphs" only in the Windows 10 OneDrive folder and in the online version web. I have tried to change font and encoding but nothing changed. Is this happening for some reason, is it a bug in OneDrive, is it depending on the version of windows, or is OneDrive simply unable to handle Greek characters?When I try from the web version of OneDrive to open a txt file

    :)

  2. Missing Greek characters in Outlook 2003

    Have you solved this problem? I have the same issue with N95, XP SP3 with Office 2003 (English) and the latest Nokia Suite (in Greek).

    Anyone there with a solution? My Greek calendar items appear hieroglyphic on the Nokia. Greek character items in Nokia, synchronise properly on Outlook but if I edit them there they are distorted again.

    REgards, Paras

  3. directory listing file does not show Greek names correctly

    Thank you very much for your reply. I did it but it did not solve the problem. The answer was ???????? ?????? in GR.doc in the dirlst2.txt.
    My desktop runs WIN10 ver 1909 (build 18363535

    - - - Updated - - -

    I have to add a few info concerning the installation of windows.
    - Win10 were installed with English as installation language. Greek was added as second language later.
    - when the prime language is English then even in command prompt the dir listing of a file with greek name is not displayed correctly but with garbage characters in name
    - when primary language is defined Greek then the file name is correct in command prompt listing but not in the file produced by dir *.* >c:\tmp\dirlst.txt command

    Why some greek characters inside txt files are "hieroglyphs"?

    Meshed up Greek language characters

    I' ve installed-upgraded a PC into Windows 10 Creators Update 15063.138. The problem is that when I use an installed program and try to use the Greek keyboard on its options or input fields, the characters are something like "|||||||..." and when I switch to native OS language US, the characters are as expected. The problem doesn't exist on previous 14393.1066 edition as I have the same program installed on another PC and the characters present as expected on BOTH languages. I tried and switched the system font using a notepad editor and the registry, I installed Greek language pack and used it as main system language and run the program, but the problem remained! I can't seem to be able to use properly the Greek keyboard characters. I have to mention of course that when I open a notepad txt, or a word document, the Greek characters are there!! I used compatibility settings, older editions of Windows, but it drives me nuts! Can anyone help me ?? I have to point out that the program, whose menus are in US English, was installed and re-installed on both OS languages on Creators Edition, but I can'get it to work..

    Flash update: Neither Microsoft's engineers nor their Remote Desktop support (via LogMeIn) couldn't resolve my issue..They performed the same steps as I did (I watched them..) they even created another user profile, in case mine was corrupted, but...NOTHING was repaired... Too bad..I'll have to wait (??!!) in case another update resolves my problem..They even proposed to revert to my previous Windows 10 edition (14393.1066)!!! Of course I knew to do that, but I didn't want that to happen.. I expected MORE from their support, as I performed every action they proposed,before they did...
