Unless someone wants to sit and do a complete rewrite of our IDE, it's just not possible. QB64PE's IDE is written in SCREEN 0, so we only have the 256 ASCII characters available with it -- which is why folks have to set the Code Page to their region, if they want accented characters and such on the screen. Our PRINT statements don't work with UNICODE characters, without mapping them to ASCII codes first, so this is something that anyone will ever see in the IDE anytime soon, just from a technical language limitation.
