Character set selection![]() This setting affects how fldigi encodes the text that it transmits and how it interprets what it receives. This mainly matters if you intend to transmit and/or receive text containing characters that are not in the English alphabet (for example letters with diacritics, Cyrillic letters, Japanese script and similar). Successful transmission and reception of such symbols is only possible if both your and the correspondent's program are set to use the same encoding. Seeing "strange" characters instead of what you would expect—for example "č" always turning up as "è"—indicates that there is probably a mismatch between your encoding and the correspondent's. Leaving this control set to UTF-8 (the default) is strongly recommended as this is a cover-all encoding that enables communication in almost any language and script imaginable. However, there are three cases in which you might want to switch encodings (at least temporarily):
* DominoEX * MFSK * MT63 (8 bit extended characters must be enabled) * Olivia (8 bit extended characters must be enabled) * PSK (all variants) * THOR |
