Loss of unicode characters when read from DB

[nszmnsky]

Using SQLite in an FMX application, I have entries in database that include a special character ⌡(0x2321). If I cut and past from the DB into text of component (TMSFMXHTMLText) the character displays correctly however if I read text from database in the program (setting a string variable Prmt := DB.TBL.FieldByName('prmtTEXT').AsString) the displayed character is right paren ')' (character 0x0029). If I edit Prmt variable in debug and insert character (using Character Map from system tools) the display is correct. I also tried using WideString but that didn't work either.

It seems that the issue is on the read from the DB but am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any insight or troubleshooting suggestions

Hello,

For correct display of unicode symbols, you should enable the following option:

Code: Select all

LiteConnection1.Options.UseUnicode := True;

That was the solution. Thanks! I simply overlooked that connection would control unicode use.
