Hi all,ããI have a problem with character encoding and wonder if someone who deals with this sort of thing more often than I do can help.ããOn my linux system I have two files that report as "Unicode text, UTF-8 text"ãwhen using file.ããWhile one file correctly displays ‚ (e with an acute accent) the other file displays an A with a tilde above followed by the copyright symbol.ããObviously, other characters are also displayed incorrectly.ããI've tried various iterations of iconv to try and correct the output of the misprinting file but with no success.ããA hexdump shows that the incorrectly displaying file has the followingãc3 83 c2 a9ããWhereas the correctly displayed file hasãc3 a9ããSo, I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this using some native program rather than having to do search and replace.ããThanks,ã---ã þ Synchronet þ End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.comã
