hello: I've been following this thread as I too am interested in "making the apple say an apple." I often use characters from "PopChar," but I've also suspected these characters may not "translate."
Jerôme's response to use UTF-8 sounds like the answer especially as messages will still be sent in ISO-8859-1 unless such characters are present. Preferences shows two UTF-8 options: Unicode UTF 8 ,1.1 , and UTF 8, 2.0 . I assume the 2.0 option is the correct one, but would someone let me know which as I plan to make this change. I'm really pleased to have this info as I do use those special characters fairly often. > > >Thank you Wayne, and Jérôme for the great information.
