Hello Maurice,

It's definitely properly displayed on this end. As for recreating it: ø. That 
doesn't seem to display properly in Golded -- instead it displays two "??" with

a black foreground, white background (opposite of the norm), but works and 
displays as it should in my console when testing it there. That would lead me 
to believe it's still Golded's fault, or I don't have some minor details 
configured properly in Golded. Then again the last I heard when I tinkered 
last, was that Golded could read/reply to UTF-8, but couldn't actually produce 
it properly. I'll have to look into it a little more, but reading/replying to 
existing UTF-8 seems to work flawlessly so far.

If my character recreation above did actually work.. then maybe it's just a 
display issue in the editor. *shrug*

Really? That's odd. I wonder if someone up the line is stripping kludges. It 
left here with the MSGID: 1:154/701 d11e2a95 kludge. I'll have to look further 
into that one.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look into that. Something somewhere 
must be stripping it, as it was included in the original message.

Excellent! Definitely a step in the right direction.

Regards,
Nick
