When I try saving a MICROSOFT EXCEL File with Thai
Characters as TAB DELIMITED, the resulting file when
opened with NOTEPAD does not show THAI instead it shows
QUESTION MARKS like ( ????? ).

If anyone know how to fix this please let me know, your
help is appreciated.

I used windows XP and have configured the input languages
for Thai Keyboard, I dont run a Thai OS but in a machine
with THAI OS the same thing is happening.

Thanks
 
Hi Jeab,
You would have to have a proper codepage to see a THAI
alphabet. Also some languages use double byte characters.

You can't have more than 256 characters in single byte characters,
and many of characters are reserved (such as the first 32 characters).

Microsoft does a pretty good job (sarcasm) of hiding codepages
almost using codepage interchangeably with the fontname.
In notepad look in the Format menu for Font. I tried changing to
another "font" but it still looked the same whether "Western" or
"Vietnamese" (no Thai listed for options in my notepad).
 
Hi K. Jeab

You can do a 'save as' Unicode text. You will get txt file, with readable Thai text. let me know if you need more help
