How to get UTF-8 to work with mIRC: Difference between revisions

'''Q:''' I have changed all of these settings but I still get strange symbols or empty boxes when someone sends UTF-8 encoded text to me!

: '''A:''' This means you don't use a font that has the characters being used. Note, recent windows versions come with 'Lucidia Sans Unicode' - which has most glyphs you're likely to want. Otherwise, you can try use these:

:* [http://irc.server.md/fixedsys.zip Fixedsys Excelsior] - A monospace font based on the standard latin windows Fixedsys font, with wide support for different unicode ranges. Only 100kb download.
