PuTTY wish windows-utf16 PuTTY wish windows-utf16 Download: summary: Support UTF-16 on Windowsclass: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.difficulty: tricky: Needs many tuits.priority: low: We aren't sure whether to fix this or not.fixed-in: r8495 2009-03-25 (0.61)Josef Hinteregger reports that the CFUNICODETEXT datastored by Windows in the clipboard is encoded in UTF-16; that is, itcan contain surrogate pairs representing characters outside the BMP.PuTTY does not currently interpret those pairs. Of course, if itdid, it would also have to be able to write them out again whencopying to the clipboard itself or talking to the Windows GDI textdisplay primitives, etc.I can see two sensible ways to solve this. One is to do translation toand from UTF-16 on the platform side of the front end interface, ifnecessary for a given platform.
Thanks to the person who said: 'The PuTTY setting configures how your client handles data coming from the server' that appears to be true: i looked and on the left side of the putty window, theres lots of menus that i had never looked into, one of them allows you to chose the charset putty uses. It was ISO something just changed it to UTF8 (and reconnected) and now all the accents show up.
