XamMaskedEditor cannot have unicode escapes in mask problem
posted

Hi, I tried putting "\u0394" (which is Δ (greek character delta)) in a xamMaskedEditor.Mask but it didn't let me enter it afterward.

I then tried putting Δ in the xamMaskedEditor.Mask (by pasting it directly from charmap), and this worked.

What is the proper way of putting a unicode escape sequence in a xamMaskedEditor.Mask?

I've tried "\u0394", "\\u0394", neither worked. What am I missing?

Also another related question: Can I specify unicode ranges in a mask like "\u0394-\u0399" since I don't want to enter each character in the greek alphabet manually? Is there any way other than manually entering each unicode greek character?

    Hello jhonny206,

    Thank you for your post. I have been looking through it and since our editors are meant to work with their own mask input formats I can suggest you use the following mask  “{}{char:8:α-ωΑ-Ω}” which will restricts the user to enter only Greek letters. You can read more about xamMaskEditor here:

    If you need any further assistance on this matter do not hesitate to ask.
