Hi,

I'd like to display some text markers with Chinese characters in rviz.

So I tried:

marker.text  = text.encode('UTF-8')

and the marker.text therefor in the u'\u5b57\u8282' form.

But nothing pop out.

Any suggestion to make it work?

Thanks!

No, rviz does not handle UTF-8 text. It only handles a portion of the ASCII character set.

There is an open ticket for this on the rviz bug tracker.
