I might actually want encoding warnings though... > But did you ever view this file in the fossil UI? > Did the è really look like è there? I did not, however, if I put the same file in any web server and serve it up it displays correctly, probably because my browser figured out to use ISO-8859-1, or the server defaulted to it. If I try to view it with Fossil UI it refuses and instead says ``10062 bytes of binary data.'' I suppose this is largely true---all data is binary. :-) It would be nice if there were a button that said, ``display the bytes anyway.'' If I annotate the file it puts a different character there than was included in the .tcl script. If I then change my browser to ISO-8859-1 it displays fine. Also, I notice that you converted (or your email client did) the è from my email to è which are not the same characters (at least not as far as the bytes are concerned). How did it manage to convert è to è? > Better replace that by \0xe8, that will make your script portable, > working identical no matter what Tcl's system encoding is set to. That's a good suggestion for fixing the Tcl script, but I'm still not sure why Fossil thinks that è is UTF-8. I thought it was extended ASCII. > > I didn't think 0xe8 was UTF-8, but maybe I'm mistaken? > > In the fossil UI, all files are displayed assuming the encoding is > UTF-8. That explains the strange character displayed in the browser.

The only thing unexpected has been the warning from Fossil for a file that previously had no warnings. :-) Sounds like my options are either to answer Yes, or update the Tcl file that I have stored in a Fossil repository to use \xe8.
