## Why to use UTF-8
|
||||
|
||||
* The characters that you send are visible to everyone.
|
||||
* There is no unclearity what you say.
|
||||
* Example:
|
||||
* **sain t?it?**
|
||||
* This can be understood two ways:
|
||||
* **sain täitä**
|
||||
* **I got louses**
|
||||
* **sain töitä**
|
||||
* **I got work**
|
||||
* All of the characters that you need are in it.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: add other reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why to disable fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
* You know when people aren't sending UTF-8.
|
||||
* You can tell them it.
|
||||
* You can take action to their misbehavour.
|
||||
* You aren't supporting depracated (by UTF-8) charsets.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: add other reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use UTF-8.
|
||||
|
||||
### HexChat
|
||||
|
||||
UTF-8 is used by default, but if your configuration is migrated from XChat
|
||||
you might not be using it.
|
||||
|
||||
Open HexChat and there Network List (CTRL + S or search from the File
|
||||
menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Edit network and ensure that the Character set says **UTF-8 (Unicode).**
|
||||
|
||||
"IRC (Latin/Unicode hybrid)" **is not valid UTF-8** and **mustn't be
|
||||
used!**
|
||||
|
||||
### irssi
|
||||
|
||||
I have copied these instructions from [Kapsi's "Irssi ja UTF-8" guide](http://www.kapsi.fi/ohjeet/irssi-utf8.html)
|
||||
so these are untested and I wish someone will verify me that these work.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/set term_charset UTF-8
|
||||
/set recode_out_default_charset UTF-8
|
||||
/set recode_fallback ""
|
||||
/save
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Sets terminal charset.
|
||||
2. Sets outgoing charset as UTF-8.
|
||||
3. Disables fallback when received messages aren't UTF-8.
|
||||
|
||||
### WeeChat
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/set charset.default.decode ""
|
||||
/set charset.default.encode "UTF-8"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Stops decoding/fallbacking to other charsets than what we send.
|
||||
2. Send UTF-8.
|
||||
|
||||
### XChat
|
||||
|
||||
**XChat defaults to weird charset that claims to be UTF-8 and confuses
|
||||
users as in reality it's not UTF-8!**
|
||||
|
||||
Open server list from the file menu or press
|
||||
CTRL + S, edit network and select the network. Ensure that the charset
|
||||
says **UTF-8 (Unicode)**.
