This is how it looks for me:

But I don't have an utf-8 compatible setup...

Same here and I have a setup that can display those characters correctly,

Hello, Carlos!

Saturday March 09 2024 18:29, from Carlos Navarro -> Fabio Bizzi:

@CHRS: UTF-8 2
all italian accented letters here:
ì - i with accent
è - e with accent
é - e with open accent
? - o with accent
à - a with accent
ù - u with accent

Your CHRS kludge says UTF-8 but the body text is LATIN-1.

I am not sure which Latin flavor it was, one or two, or three haha or CP-something, but I can tell for sure that it was 8-byte encoding and not UTF-8.

Hello All!

this is the charcter encoding test with putty as I wrote in my previous message:

all italian accented letters here:

­ - i with accent
­ - e with accent
­ - e with open accent
­ - o with accent
­ - a with accent
­ - u with accent

Here's how it appeared when viewed using SyncTERM v1.2b attached to a Synchronet v3.20 BBS:

I am afraid not. I see that your game is Linux. I know little or nothing about Linux. Windows is the game here.

I did by pressing Ctrl-J and selecting LATIN-1 to view it properly. (In my GoldED+ setup I have conversions to CP850 from CP437, LATIN-1 and Michiel's partial UTF-8.)

You can check that it is LATIN-1 by viewing the hexdump (Alt-I) of your message. You will see that, for example, the first one (ì, lowercase i with grave accent) is hex EC. That's ISO-8859-1 (or CP1252) AKA Fidonet LATIN-1.

Fabio,

If your terminal is set to ISO-8859-1, you may be interested in checking what I posted here on 1.1.2023. I made the equivalent of Michiel's CP850<->UTF-8 chs files, but for LATIN-1<->UTF-8.

Ok, I'll google for characters encoding tables. :)

I wonder what ctrl-j would show once Vitaliy adds the iconv instead of charset maps. Probably, iconv --list? ;-))

It could be broken in my response, because I've converted it to KOI8-R. :)

Your CHRS kludge says UTF-8 but the body text is LATIN-1.

To make it correct - you need to have XLatExport set correctly.

How can I see that is LATIN-1?

Do two things:
1) check what CHRS kludge is set for that message (press K in message reader). 2) Press I and it will show you hexdump of the message. Then you may check if actual bytes are correct.
