Greetings!

I want to insert a copyright symbol in an alert dlog message. I have tried using escape codes (%), but they print without translation. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,

This worked for me: native.showAlert(" © Ansca, Inc 2010"

On the mac, © (Option-G) displays the Copyright symbol.

Hi Carlos,

Sorry, I didn’t note in my original post that using option-g displays a diamond with a question mark in it in place of the copyright symbol.

Suggestions?

I can get it to show up.

[code]
local _alert = nil;

local function onComplete(event)
native.cancelAlert(_alert);
end
_alert = native.showAlert(“© 2010 Ansca, Inc”, “Key”, { “OK” }, onComplete);

I found a fix for this issue. I copied the contents of my main.lua file to a newly created main.lua file. This allowed the copyright symbol to display.
