yes, unless you can change the default encoding thats used. I dont know if the default is the eggdrops default or the systems default. Because eggdrop should use iso-8659-1 which supports these characters your shell probably uses us-ascii which is not that good imho. But maybe its also strict UTF-8 which of course does not recognize single byte values over 127.

Thanks De Kus,

I did a search about encoding and i find out a solution, i used fconfigure command, i don't really know where to had it, so i made it just before writing in my text file. and now when i open the .txt file i got the " ² " instead of " ? "

Code:

 if {![catch {set fileWri [open nick2.txt w]}]} {   fconfigure $fileWri -encoding binary   puts $fileWri "$arg"   close $fileWri }

But re-using fconfigure each times i write in my .txt is the right thing to do i hope?

Hello, i have a weird bug about a character, the " ² ", when i write it in a text file, it make it " ? ", and i don't really understand why, i can't find any thread about this, maybe i didn't used the correct key-words to find it but well.

Someone have any clue about this ?

I guess the " ² " isn't the only character who is affected.
