Parameter	Range	Description
textString	Unicode symbols encoded in UTF8	text to be output

Writes a textString to the current cursor position. Note that Strings are encoded with UTF8 internally.

• All characters in the string have to be defined in the currently active Unicode font. Characters not defined are replaced with a space.
• While writing text, the cursor position is constantly updated to the end of the last character.
• If the cursor position exceeds the right or bottom margin during text output and the corresponding wrap mode is not set, the following characters are ignored (refer to Control.setWrapMode(boolean, boolean)). The cursor will then remain at the end of the last complete character.
• To get the horizontal and vertical space occupied by the outputted text use the Control.getTextExtent(String) method.
• The text can contain any ANSI sequence (see ANSI Support) to e.g. control the cursor position (on a character or graphic based position) when the ANSI mode is on.

Example

Draw.writeText("∀x: Hello x!");

Writes specified text including Unicode symbols to the screen at the current cursor position and with the currently selected unicode font and attributes.
