Characters missing in unicode
In the past I've used LangStrings with '0147' and '0148' typed in on a keyboard holding the alt key depressed to enter designer quotation marks.

Those are in the Windows-1252 code page, but not part of standard ISO-8859-1.

The quotes don't show up when compiled on unicode NSIS. Is there an alternative to typing alt+'0147' and alt+'0148' that would render in unicode?

Did you look at the Unicode characters list, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

Someone must have "deliberately" not included “ and ” ? They'll be missed. Thanks for the reply.

How about:
U+275D ❝ Heavy double turned comma quotation mark ornament
U+275E ❞ Heavy double comma quotation mark ornament

❝ ❞ - looks awful. But by saving LanguageStrings.nsh in unicode, “ and ” magically reappear. If I wanted to distribute a backward compatible version of the installer, I'd need to copy an ansi version of the file as well. That answers my question. Thanks.

Can I also compliment you on EmbeddedLists.dll. A really useful plug-in and in unicode!

Thanks :) Will be rebuilding some others as Unicode too soon.
