String Encoding Overhaul

[TheJabuJabu]

Objective

Transition to a standardized encoding format to support a wider range of languages and ensure compatibility with in-game control codes and formatting.

Details

• Replace the current string encoding system with Unicode support.
• Preserve in-game control codes and formatting during the transition.
• Ensure the new encoding system can handle non-Latin scripts and special characters.
• Test the system with various languages, including those with complex scripts.

Acceptance Criteria

• All in-game strings are encoded in a standardized Unicode format.
• Control codes and formatting are fully preserved.
• Non-Latin scripts and special characters render correctly without errors.
• Performance is not negatively impacted by the encoding overhaul.

Deliverable

A fully functional string encoding system using Unicode, tested and optimized for multilingual support.
