UserPostedImage

I've managed to locate the problem down to this symbol >> ” << which is different to the one on my keyboard >> " <<



Full Example Text

27. even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”

Does anybody have some solutions for this problem?

Yes the bug is in the text source
If it is coming from a file saved in ANSI encoding this will be the result , needs to be UTF-8 encoding

So not a vMix bug at all

From the best I can tell the character is UTF-8

Right so save your files with UTF encoding as your current apparently isn't

Can easily test it with notepad or alike ( gives you the option to save as ANSI or UTF-8)

In getting the text from the application "Theword" then using "Autohotkey" to format and save the text for vMix import

I suspect Autohotkey is not saving in the correct format

again. thanks for the tips

@doggy

That fixed the problem 100%

Thanks


AutoHotkey code

Code:
^P::

FileDelete,C:\Users\Public\Documents\clip.csv
Fileappend,%clipboard%,C:\Users\Public\Documents\clip.csv, UTF-8
return


Just had to add "UTF-8"
