Solidity - Invalid character in string

I'm working on a Solidity ERC20 Smart Contract that needs verbiage from latin based countries. I'm using Remix ETH online IDE

How Can I add special characters without the compiler yelling at me?

currently:

string public responsavel = "Estado de SÃO PAULO Coçar";

this errors as: ParserError: Invalid character in string.

Essentially it doesn't like ç and Ã, but I need those as well as future é, ô characters and such.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • You can use the UTF-8 sequence

    string public responsavel = "Estado de S\xC3\x83O PAULO Co\xC3\xA7ar";
