So am I. >What I'm trying to explain is that the log files seem to not display this correctly, either in >HLSW, Psychostats, or other log parsers. They do here. are you missing UTF-8 support somewhere? Check your console, screen, and kernel configuration for problems with live logs. Saved logs shouldn't cause this issue, as they are written to disk as UTF-8. HLSW will process these correctly unless there is no UTF-8 support in your perl libraries, in which case, the parser should error. Furthermore, most web browsers aren't to smart about detecting stray unicode, and instead they listen to the often mis-configured apache servers which claim to be sending something other than UTF-8. If you force UTF-8 encoding in your browser, it is likely these charecters will appear correctly. > Is there a way to turn off the UTF-8 support?
