Let's create sample WebView app.

wxString MyText = wxT("<html><body>Hello</body></html>");
wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFile("MyFile.htm", MyText);
MyWebView->LoadURL("memory:MyFile.htm");

All work great, but when putting unicode text, the webview show blank white page!.

Code: Select all

wxString MyText = wxT("<html><body>أهلا</body></html>");

My build is Unicode, and i'm using unicode text in all widgets without any issue, except for webview.

In the official webview example it's show error.

Code: Select all

wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFile("page1.htm", wxT("<html><body>أهلا</body></html>"));

Code: Select all

wxString s( wxT("<html><meta charset=\"UTF-8\"><body>hey hey: أهلا</body></html>") );
wxCharBuffer cb = s.ToUTF8();
wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFile("page1.htm", cb, strlen(cb) );

Thank you so much doublemax for your help, so the default encoding it's not UTF-8! now I got it.
