Just in case this is related:

I’m not from the Cyrillic-writing part of the world, but in the past I had trouble sharing sketches from my phone (APDE) and my computer (processing for windows in android mode). It seemed that sketches saved in android, saved in a git repository and opened in windows garbled non-US characters as “Á” or “€”.  
I haven’t tested with current version.

I made a forum entry (or maybe a bugzilla entry) about that in the past:

While I can compile [http://github.com/jgmy/daltonaid.git](http://github.com/jgmy/daltonaid.git) on apde, when I compile that with the Android mode of Processing for Windows all the international characters are turn into garbage (example: á is turned into áÃ). How can I set a codepage / character set in order to specify the right characters to display? Yours, José Moya.
