Character encoding problem with Serial Monitor #1405
Description
Describe the problem
When using serial printing accented characters or ASCII higher than 127, the serial monitor mostly shows a "�", but not always.
To reproduce
Serial.print accented characters or ASCII with values higher than 127.
E.g.:
Serial.print("Humidité: ");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(("% Température: "));
Serial.print(t);
Serial.print(("° C "));
Serial.print(("Humidex : "));
Serial.print(humidex);
Serial.println(("° C "));Expected behavior
The serial monitor should show the characters in the right encoding or at least UTF-8.
Arduino IDE version

Additional context
Full code example :
#include <DHT.h>
// Broche de données
#define DHTPIN 2
// Type de capteur pour la librairie
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
// Déclaration de l'objet
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
long currentTime = 0;
long dhtPrevious = 0;
long dhtDelay = 1000;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println(F("DHTxx test!"));
dht.begin(); // Initialisation
currentTime = millis();
}
void loop() {
currentTime = millis();
if (currentTime - dhtPrevious >= dhtDelay) {
dhtPrevious = currentTime;
float h = dht.readHumidity();
float t = dht.readTemperature();
float humidex = dht.computeHeatIndex(t, h, false);
Serial.print("Humidité: ");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(("% Température: "));
Serial.print(t);
Serial.print(("° C "));
Serial.print(("Humidex : "));
Serial.print(humidex);
Serial.println(("° C "));
}
