Non-roman and Transcriber

[Nicholas Thieberger]

I am having trouble getting Unicode characters displaying in 
Transcriber on a Mac. I have followed Matthew's instructions, changed 
the text encoding to UTF-8, changed the font to Gentium, but still 
can't insert the characters.

I have a defined keyboard layout using Ukelele which works with other 
applications.

When I try inserting the Unicode character into the .trs file and 
opening it in Transcriber it generates an error.

Has anyone figured out how to do this?

Thanks,

Nick
