... Keep in mind that [Variables] are NEVER "resolved" in any way in the [Variables] section itself. They are resolved when and where they are "used". It just so happens that #CRLF# is not properly understood when it is "used" in an InputText measure, but [\13][\10] is.
Reading at this artice
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/variables/character-variables/ it is suggested to make the skin encode as UTF-16 Little Endian. So i convert my skin using Notepad++ (Convert to UCS-2 LE BOM) but failed, then tried using Notepad (Encoding: Unicode) also failed. Rainmeter shows this dialog:
The skin xxx.ini does not contain any meters and will be deactivated.
The File may be damaged or it may not be a valid skin.
Of course i believe i missing something and will take a careful look later because now i have a working Rainmeter skin i've been dreamed of. (yes it is true, i sleep but my mind still relate to why the skin is not working, but i enjoy it to "punish" my lazy brain)

If you can .zip up your entire skin folder and attach it here or post a link to where we can download it, I can take a look.
