Blockly / Special characters in Serial oled

I'm using an axe133y serial oled with Blockly/PE6 (unicode UTF-8)

Which is the easier way to write special characters like in "España" or "Café"?

Could it be improved in a Blockly future version?

The OLED character set may not include all the accented characters, but if it is a supported character like é (which is character code 130 - see numbers 129-253 in the OLED character map for available charactrs) you can already do it like this:

Thanks Technical

Could be possible to do something similar with the "LCD print on" block?
Students are working with this block now and they don't know what serial is.

With the LCD block we could probably add some code to pre-process the string and match existing characters. We'll add it to the wish list.
