With recode settings set as follows: 23:40 [misc] 23:40 recode_autodetect_utf8 = ON 23:40 recode_fallback = sjis 23:40 recode = ON 23:40 recode_out_default_charset = 23:40 recode_transliterate = ON 23:40 [lookandfeel] 23:40 term_charset = UTF-8 If one enters text which is 7-bit, it is decoded as shift-jis. Since shift-jis is not a proper superset of US-ASCII, things are changed - for example, \ becomes ¥ and ~ becomes ‾. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set irssi options as mentioned above 2. /msg (your username) \~ Actual Results: ¥‾ is displayed Expected Results: \~ should have been displayed I'm currently working on a patch for this; I'll post back with my results
I've made a patch to correct this issue at http://www.fushizen.net/irssi-0.8.11-dont-fallback-on-7bit.patch
And why not send this upstream?
Now sent upstream at http://bugs.irssi.org/?do=details&task_id=518
Related or duplicate of bug 168341? Just curious
Seems it should be already fixed for >=0.8.13 (as info from upstream bugzilla states). If mips will stabilize 0.8.13 then the bug can be closed I think.
Though as it's stated in the following comment for the bug #271875: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271875#c12 MIPS team dropped stable branch support so you can just close the bug.
resolving per comment #6
