I write a dissector for a protocol that transport measurement values for pressure and temperature and so on. I would like to display the values with proto_tree_add_float() with the correct unit. But the �C symbol as well as �A is not displayed correctly.
Is there a way display this character set specific characters in Wireshark? How should I encode these characters that the GTK UI displays the nice "�C" so that I can avoid "degrees centigrade"?
Try encoding them in UTF-8 (*NOT* UTF-16/UCS-2!); that might work.
Yes it might, but this depends on the current editor I use on different
workstations. And the fiddling with the editor settings is cumbersome.
Of course, getting the Windows C compiler to like it is another matter.

I would prefer the escape string "\xC2\xB0" anyway, since it's not only
a question of the compiler as the version control system incl. diff
viewer is also part of the tool chain.
Thanks for this help.
