Character map does not seem to match A02 tables

Please tell me if I’ve misunderstood, but I think there is a miss-match between the A02 tables and which characters are shown on the display.

When I try to write the Danish/Norwegian letters: æ/ø/å, the screen displays different characters. Check out the attached image, where line one corresponds to the characters on line two. (ae = æ, oe = ø and aa = å).

I wrote to the display using this command: lcd.write_string("ae, oe, aa\n\ræ ø å")

I used this pdf, page 18, to reference which characters the A02 table contains.

Sorry for the late response. It’s possible that your display does not match the A00 or A02 tables, but contains a custom mapping.

As described here https://rplcd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#character-maps you can use the show_charmap target of the rplcd-tests script to write all characters sequentially to the display. Then you can compare with the character maps in the PDF.

If there’s a mismatch, you probably need to create your own character map, or alternatively use custom characters or raw character references.

Does that help, @janis-ax @etokheim?

@etokheim @janis-ax alright, I’ll close this issue for now! You can still leave comments though.
