      2   Example for TFT_eSPI library
      3 
      4   This example shows the use of a Adafruit_GFX custom font with a
      5   character code range of 32 - 255, this means accented characters
      6   (amongst others) are available.
      7 
      8   The custom font file is attached to this sketch as a header file. The
      9   font data has been created following the instructions here:
     10   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8MmTISmwZ8
     11 
     12   Note that online converters for Adafruit_GFX compatible fonts are
     13   available but these typically only use characters in the range 32-127,
     14   and thus do not include the accented characters. These online converters
     15   can however still be used with this sketch but the example characters
     16   used must be changed.
     17 
     18   The Arduino IDE uses UTF8 encoding for these characters. The TFT_eSPI
     19   library also expects characters in the range 128 to 255 to be UTF-8
     20   encoded. See link here for details:
     21 
     22   https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/UTF-8
     23 
     24   To summarise, UTF-8 characters are encoded as more than 1 byte so care must
     25   be taken:
     26 
     27      char c = 'µ';          // Wrong
     28      char bad[4] = "5µA";   // Wrong
     29      char good[] = "5µA";   // Good
     30      String okay = "5µA";   // Good
     31

     34   Make sure LOAD_GFXFF is defined in the used User_Setup file
     35   within the library folder.
