How to insert code with accents with listings?

Question

I'm trying to insert source code in LaTeX with using listings, but my code has accents and pdflatex gives me this error:

Unicode char \u8:�\expandafter not set up for use with LaTeX.

This is a code the reproduces the error.

example.tex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}

\begin{document}

\lstinputlisting[language=C++]{code.cpp}

\end{document}

code.cpp

// Código con una tilde

What can I do to generate the PDF correctly?

Answer 1

You can load the package listingsutf8 and then set the encoding using \lstset{inputencoding=utf8/latin1}:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{listingsutf8}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}

\begin{document}

\lstset{inputencoding=utf8/latin1}
\lstinputlisting[language=C++]{code.cpp}

\end{document}

Answer 2

The accepted solution didn't work for me, so here is mine:

\usepackage{listings} % ordinary listings package

and then configure letter mappings - these mappings are for the Czech languaguge but you can configure your own

\lstset{
     literate=%
         {á}{{\'a}}1
         {í}{{\'i}}1
         {é}{{\'e}}1
         {ý}{{\'y}}1
         {ú}{{\'u}}1
         {ó}{{\'o}}1
         {ě}{{\v{e}}}1
         {š}{{\v{s}}}1
         {č}{{\v{c}}}1
         {ř}{{\v{r}}}1
         {ž}{{\v{z}}}1
         {ď}{{\v{d}}}1
         {ť}{{\v{t}}}1
         {ň}{{\v{n}}}1                
         {ů}{{\r{u}}}1
         {Á}{{\'A}}1
         {Í}{{\'I}}1
         {É}{{\'E}}1
         {Ý}{{\'Y}}1
         {Ú}{{\'U}}1
         {Ó}{{\'O}}1
         {Ě}{{\v{E}}}1
         {Š}{{\v{S}}}1
         {Č}{{\v{C}}}1
         {Ř}{{\v{R}}}1
         {Ž}{{\v{Z}}}1
         {Ď}{{\v{D}}}1
         {Ť}{{\v{T}}}1
         {Ň}{{\v{N}}}1                
         {Ů}{{\r{U}}}1    
}

Answer 3

In Brazilian portuguese, this solution worked for me

\usepackage{listings} % for including code

\lstset{
language=R,   % R code
literate=
{á}{{\'a}}1
{à}{{\`a}}1
{ã}{{\~a}}1
{é}{{\'e}}1
{ê}{{\^e}}1
{í}{{\'i}}1
{ó}{{\'o}}1
{õ}{{\~o}}1
{ú}{{\'u}}1
{ü}{{\"u}}1
{ç}{{\c{c}}}1
}

Answer 4

Hungarian version based on previous answer:

\lstset{ literate={á}{{\'a}}1 {é}{{\'e}}1 {í}{{{\'\i}}}1 {ó}{{\'o}}1 {ö}{{\"o}}1 {ő}{{\H o}}1 {ú}{{\'u}}1 {Ú}{{\'U}}1 {ü}{{\"u}}1 {ű}{{\H u}}1 {Ü}{{\"U}}1 }

Answer 5

None of the above worked here, just this way:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}            
\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 

\usepackage{listings}

\lstset{
    language=bash,   %% PHP, C, Java, etc... bash is the standard
    extendedchars=true,
    inputencoding=latin1
}
