what it should have done, is, when output is in UTF-8 mode, and mushclient got input "<byte1><byte2>" it should encode it as UTF-8 "\Uxxxx\Uxxx\Uxxx\Uxxx" and then send it out, and draw it to screen.


What is "it" here? MUSHclient? The server?

sorry to reply late,didn't receive email notification on this one.

i'm referring to mushclient.

when output is utf-8 mode, mushclient should translate input textbox text to utf-8 when sending out.

From what, though? How is it supposed to know what encoding is in use in the input box?

it is always the system locale, right? I think here's what is needed:

first, convert system-locale to utf-16

uses: MultibyteToWideChar(CP_THREAD_ACP, .... rest of the args)
then , convert utf-16 to utf-8 : WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, xxxxxxxx)

the result string is the UTF-8 version of the input string.

I can test this whenever you have a new build.

Thanks.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here?

I have Chinese encoding turned on, and type "ni hao" which echoes like this:



However as soon as I hit <enter> to send it, it becomes:



And that is before it reaches my code (which I added) to convert it to UTF-8.

OK, I think I have it. I didn't have the code page selected. How's this?

Hi unfortunately 4.90 doesn't work correctly for me, please see example here:

I typed '你好

but 你好 is displayed as garbled in the window. If things works correctly, i should see 你好 in the window too, I have utf-8 code enabled.

Your help is much appreciated, thanks!

What was the objection to running without UTF-8?

You mean change the mud server not outputing utf-8? Well, yes, that is how the "old" way works, with many drawbacks, like all string in the source code needs to be in gb2312 (since driver sends them as-is) , etc etc.

By the way, I'm the maintainer of FluffOS (https://github.com/fluffos/fluffos) I understand it must be difficult to try to get things working in non-native language, I will try to see if i could come up with a patch myself.

In another word, thanks for open sourcing mushclient to make this possible.

I just notice that you actually have a utf-8 fix in 4.91 in cooking. Let me see if problem still exists in current 4.91 after you recent fix, will report back.
