most irc clients autodetect utf-8 on incoming text and assume its a local= ly relavent character set (generally iso-8859-1 or windows-1252 which are ve= ry similar for western setups) if its not valid utf-8 unfortunately mirc is = the exception being only able to render windows-1252 at least on western wind= ows setups. i'm not sure how cgiirc behaves in this regard since its a while since i'= ve used it can anyone clarify if it also does this kind of autodetection on incoming text (if not it probablly should). one unfortunate thing about irc is its too old to have character sets specified by the protocol. > -----Original Message----- > From: cgi...@li... > [mailto:cgi...@li...]On Behalf Of > joh...@ar... > Sent: 19 October 2005 15:34 > To: cgi...@li... > Subject: [cgiirc-general] (no subject) > > > HI, > > I'm quite new here and just I get on your nervs with this > question, nonetheless I hope you can help me. > I have a question to you.
