This article describes how to properly render the output of Diacritic characters on labels. If not properly formatted, Diacritic characters print out as '?' or '⎕'.
Label data input "și mențineți-o într-o poziție confortabilă" prints out as "?i men?ine?i-o ⎕ntr-o pozi?ie confortabil⎕"
Diacritic characters require specific formatting to render properly when printing from LPS. The reason that characters, such as, 'ș' and î print out as '?' marks, or '⎕' (boxes) is that these characters are not recognized when using the default font formatting. The '?' denotes an unrecognized single byte character and the '⎕' represents an unrecognized double byte character.
Use the following steps to apply the correct font formatting to the label template field(s) that need to produce Diacritic characters.
- Open Design 32.
- Open the label.
- Select the field that requires this formatting.
- Right-click the field and select Edit Field... to view the properties for the field.

- Click the ellipsis (...) next to Language Properties. The Language Properties Wizard is displayed.

- Click Next. The Font Language Selection is displayed.
- Select Non-Asian.

- Click Next. The Font Character Set selection is displayed.
- Select Eastern Europe from the drop-down list.

- Click Next. The True Type Font selection is displayed.
- For TrueType Font, select Arial and for Data Format, select Unicode UTF-8.

- Click Next. A summary of your Language Properties selections is displayed.

- Click Finish.
- Test your data and confirm the Diacritic characters now print as expected.
