From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml: --- Irssi has complete UTF-8 support, although it does require a user to set an option. Code Listing 3.12: Enabling UTF-8 in Irssi /set term_type UTF-8 For channels where non-ASCII characters are often exchanged in non-UTF-8 charsets, the /recode command may be used to convert the characters. Type /help recode for more information. --- I don't have a utf-8 system, so it may be my fault, but my irssi doesn't even know about a recode command. Is it possible that this feature is missing in my version (0.8.9) or something? Maybe it's a script that needs to be installed? Sorry if this a bogus bug report, just stumbled over it and thought it could need some fixing.
It's been introduced in 0.8.10, released officially 20 days ago. http://irssi.org/news/ChangeLog Hopefully, it'll be keyworded stable soon. Can't remember why we documented it as it was not in the stable version yet, but it should be a no-issue soon enough.
Ah, didn't expect that doc that much up too date. ;-) > Hopefully, it'll be keyworded stable soon. Yeah, that'll fix it soon enough. Thanks
