Um, no, what I meant was is that 50% grey (alternate pixel filled-in) character what is actually being received in Mudlet or does it just represent a replacement character put in somehow (as an alternative to say '�', the 'proper' replacement character a.k.a. codepoint U+FFFD) Reason I was asking was to see if there is any plusable way to get from a single byte character to something that takes three bytes to encode. One faint possibility might be that if the 'W' is the *very* *first* byte of the incoming stream, if so, could the three bytes of a Byte Order Mark - 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF be mixing up with the 0x57 for 'W' to produce something weird...
That is a long shot though, and the mechanism causing it is beyond me at the moment. I think we might need to know the OS and locale settings for people having this bug - and some idea of who does not.
