Hi,
I was trying to find out an equivalent to the python encode function. For example when I start Python 3.8 on windows cmd shell and I do:
a = "pythön!"
a.encode("utf-8")
it generates:
b'pyth\xc3\xb6n!'
I was looking into the utf8 library in Lua. So in the windows cmd shell if I do:
utf8.codepoint("pythön!",1,-1)
I get:
stdin:1: invalid UTF-8 code
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'utf8.codepoint'
stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: in ?
After some searching I found the command chcp and I start a new cmd and run the command:
chcp 65001
and then run Lua and do
utf8.codepoint("pythön!",1,-1)
this it takes as an incomplete statement. It says:
stdin:1: unfinished string near '"pyth'
How can I emulate the python encode function?
Why does that work on the windows cmd and utf8.codepoint does not?
Thanks,
Milind
