Specifying non-ASCII characters for NSIS' LangString

I'm using NSIS to generate a Windows' installer for my application. I'd like a multi-lingual installer. I'm using LangString for specifying strings.

However, the documentation doesn't seem to say how one should encode a non-ASCII character. For example, to use the German word "benötigt" (where the 'o' has an umlaut), how should I encode the ö?

Solution

  • It's just easier to use the Unicode version of NSIS. The entire problem then goes away.
