Extended ASCII Codes

Post by eugenewright »

Hi there

I have an eggdrop displaying news headlines to a channel and am using an ASCII character as part of the design output to a channel.
The character number is 221 (vertical cursor-line line >>▐ ).

Question is: on one IRC network I use the character displays correctly, but on another it outputs as: â

Is it possibly due to that network not allowing this kind of characters?

Thanks in advance for any ideas...

It could be a trouble with the network if it uses a non-utf8 encoding, or with the client and its configuration (encoding/decoding).
If it's the same eggdrop (binary, with the same .conf or differents) tested on different networks, the trouble is probably from the eggdrop.
If it's another eggdrop compilation, it could also be the eggdrop.

Solving encoding troubles over IRC is a pain.
