Scrcpy: Swedish letters aren't showing up properly while writing

Created on 26 May 2019  Â·  9Comments  Â·  Source: Genymobile/scrcpy

Greetings! I've just started using scrcpy and it's a gift from God, honest! Thanks so much for making it!

However, ÅÄÖ/åäö aren't showing up properly while writing.

"Ä/ä" and "Ö/ö" come out as "A/a" and "O/o", respectively
"Ã…/Ã¥" isn't showing at all

Swedish keyboard
Windows 10 Pro N on Windows Insider

Copy pasting a sentence containing ä and ö results in the copied text having a and o instead. å seems to block the copying entirely.

Example messages:

Jag bor i Ã…kersberga
Vad äter vi ikväll?
Övriga utvecklare är inte lika bra som dig

I have the same problem with the German special characters öäüÖÄÜ. They appear as ¨o¨a¨u and so on.

Try to use scrcpy v1.9 with shortcut ctrl + shift + v, which will copy computer's clipboard to device's.

If you want to type in computer and write on device directly.

You can refer to ADBKeyBoard or SocketIME.

Ubuntu 18.10 with en_DK region (Denmark - English) and english locale
Pasted "Ä/ä" and "Ö/ö" correctly on:
Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A500F) Android 6.0.1
Samsung Galaxy A6 (SM-A600FN) Android 8.0.0

But couldn't paste "Ã…/Ã¥" too

However, ÅÄÖ/åäö aren't showing up properly while writing.

Unfortunately, that's expected. Android only supports injecting ASCII chars: https://blog.rom1v.com/2018/03/introducing-scrcpy/#handle-text-input

Some accents are managed via combining diacritical dead key characters. But this does not work correctly with all keyboards: https://blog.rom1v.com/2018/03/introducing-scrcpy/#handle-accented-characters

Ã¥ seems to block the copying entirely.

Since #542, it will ignore unsupported characters instead of blocking the remaining.

ADBKeyBoard works like a charm, thanks!

Probably duplicate of #214 (also #37, #431 and others).

Same issue with Norwegian

Closing as duplicate of #37.

Please test #1426 (works on Android >= 7).
