How to show any character (accents, etc) in gui text?

I know that TGE has UTF8 support for just about any character, but when I tried to use a non-english character in TGB I got a block instead! how can I use accents and such in TGB?

I found the answer for this one myself. you have to store your text data (wherever it is located) in UTF8 format, that way the characters will be shown in TGB. something weird though if your characters are stored in the code you need to save it as utf8 then resave it again as ansi, otherwise it wont compile. (but the characters will still work)
at least thats what I did in notepad++
