Line 839:
You can see where where I made the assumption that <big>'''├á'''</big> was the ASCII character <big>'''á'''</big> (instead of the correct character <big>'''à'''</big>). I'll will correct the translation within my REXX program and also the program's output. (Pardon my French, but that was a bugger to track down). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 16:55, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
:I see. If you open a file encoded in UTF-8 in a editor that tries to interpret it as another codepage, you will get that kind of problem. For instance, "Déjà" is printed as "D├⌐j├á vu" in CP437 (a DOS codepage, that you seem to be using here), or "DéjÃ" in ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1). That's because UTF-8 encodes Unicode characters as multibyte sequences. It would be possible to read a UTF-8 as binary and do the translation "by hand", but there are programs able to do the translation for you. On Windows, the Notepad++ text editor can do this.
