Feature #5329
openPer-channel encoding and smart encoding
0%
Description
Is it possible to add per-channel encoding and not per-server?
And maybe more... Is it possible to make a "smart" encoding, like it's done in kvIRC: receive channel/server encoding AND UTF-8, send only in channel/server encoding.

If everyone uses UTF-8 encoding which I believe the majority of all clients/servers have been doing for the past 10+ years, there should be no encoding problems.
How many servers/channels does not use UTF-8, any examples?

Not so much, but some russian channels still use windows-1251 or even koi8-r encoding on different networks.

I see, would it be sufficient with a plugin or a script for these specific channels?

Maybe a plugins is better. I wrote such script for mIRC ~10 years ago, too many handlers for events (privmsg/channel/actions) and problems with compatibility with other scripts

I agree a plugin is better, but you can use on PARSELINE now which makes it much easier.
