The encoding setting was empty (as in, not set to anything).</p> <p>2. When i set it to UTF-8, suddenly everything was fixed.</p> <p>Those two things together lead me to believe that Linkinus is not using UTF-8 by default. Is that correct? If so, is that intended? I don't believe i'd ever touched that setting before today. </p> http://conceitedsoftware.com/forums/topic/encoding-issues#post-545 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:31:04 +0000 Okeanos 545@http://conceitedsoftware.com/forums/ <p>Linkinus does not autodetect incoming encodings. That means if you use UTF-8 (default one) but someone else uses Shift JIS the <em>incoming</em> non standard characters will be displayed wrong. </p> <p>You have to adapt the connections encoding using the connection inspector -&gt; advanced -&gt; encoding and set it to what the others use to properly see the characters — OR ask them to use UTF-8 instead (better xD). </p> http://conceitedsoftware.com/forums/topic/encoding-issues#post-544 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:27:31 +0000 ohkine 544@http://conceitedsoftware.com/forums/ <p>I am having trouble with encoding of 'special' characters in Linkinus 2.0.2. By special i'm referring to things like em dashes ( — ) and degrees signs ( ° ), which always display in Linkinus with some weird accented character instead of what they're supposed to be.</p> <p>For example, if someone typed to me 'hey there — how are you today', it would instead appear in Linkinus as 'hey there â how are you today'. Or the temperature given as '16°C' will appear as '16°C'. This happens whenever anyone uses any of these characters, except for when <strong>i</strong> enter them myself (then they appear correct to both myself and others). Others do not have a problem viewing the characters, and i even tried different IRC clients, and all of them display correctly except Linkinus.</p> <p>Here are some examples. This first one is what a weather bot's output looks like in Colloquy:</p> <p><a href="http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5814/wcolloquy.png" rel="nofollow">http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5814/wcolloquy.png</a></p> <p>And here's the same exact line as displayed in Linkinus:</p> <p><a href="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4789/wlinkinus.png" rel="nofollow">http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4789/wlinkinus.png</a></p> <p>This happens with all of the styles i have installed, by the way. </p>
