Some true progress! I took 30 or so lines of code from Twisty, mostly in how it buffers the output characters into a Java string from C code, and now I have working Unicode output!
Screen shot of Son of Hunky Punk, it now displays and behaves just like the Git interpreter built into the Inform 7 IDE when it comes to Unicode output. Screen shot from a real Android 7.0 mobile phone: raw.githubusercontent.com/Broad … preterA.ni
The code needs cleaned up and organized, but I now know how Twisty 2.0 app was able to get the Unicode data out of the Glulx into Android’s screen’s! Hacky mess here: github.com/BroadcastGames/son_o … f5c68b3bae
