Translation of the finished game written in Python. How manually input unicode non-eng characters in .ini files?

In the Knytt Underground game written in Python, ini files are used with English dialogue text (key = value - value is some dialogue phrase), when I entering the Polish character eg. ęąćź displays '?' I tried to type escape character
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. sometext\x119sometext
  2. sometext\u119sometext

But it s not working. Game single backslash \ reads as a line break- (go to next line - only \ without the letter 'n')
I checked the ttf file in game folder("Ubuntu-Mono Regular.ttf") and it supports Polish letters.
So how do you save Polish letters (Unicode characters) in ANSI(propably) ini files?

To save Polish letters (Unicode characters) in ANSI-encoded INI files, you need to ensure that the file is properly encoded and that the characters are represented correctly. Here's how you can do it:
1. Make sure you're using the correct encoding for your INI file. ANSI encoding is not suitable for representing Unicode characters, as it only supports a limited character set. Instead, you should use a Unicode encoding such as UTF-8, which can handle a wide range of characters, including Polish letters.
2. Open the INI file using UTF-8 encoding in your Python script. You can specify the encoding when opening the file by passing the encoding='utf-8' parameter to the open() function, like this:
with open('your_file.ini', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
# Read the contents of the file
contents = file.read()
# Process the contents as needed
# ...

3. When saving Polish letters in the INI file, make sure the characters are properly encoded as Unicode code points. In Python, you can use escape sequences to represent Unicode characters using their hexadecimal values. For example, the letter 'ę' can be represented as \u0119. Here's an example of how you can save Polish letters in the INI file:

with open('your_file.ini', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as file:
# Write the Polish text to the file
file.write('[Section]\n')
file.write('key = value\n')
file.write('dialogue = Some text with Polish letters: \u0119\u0105\u0107\u017A\n')
# ...

By using UTF-8 encoding and representing Polish letters as Unicode escape sequences, you should be able to save and display the characters correctly in your INI file for the Knytt Underground game.

If you require professional document translation services, it's recommended to reach out to specialized translation agencies or service providers. They have expertise in accurately translating documents while maintaining the intended meaning and context.
