ROBLOX GUIs may support UTF-8 strings, but StringValues and Scripts do not

ROBLOX GUIs may support UTF-8 strings, but StringValues and Scripts do not. This makes it incredibly hard to pragmatically use UTF8, or say, configure your game with UTF-8 descriptions.

I think this should be under feature requests instead.

If you move there then 10/10 support from me.

I want to add that if you set a Gui’s text to something like “I am going to the Café to drink some coffee.” It will view as “I am going to the Caf”, stopping at the accented character.

In the old font system, the text would be set to the string, just without the é. “I am going to the Caf to drink some coffee.”
