The character that I see in your mail (let's try to be very precise) is the Katakana (Japanese, indeed) character NU (pronounce "nou" in french). ============== ヌ U+30CC KATAKANA LETTER NU General Character Properties In Unicode since: 1.1 Unicode category: Letter, Other Various Useful Representations UTF-8: 0xE3 0x83 0x8C UTF-16: 0x30CC C octal escaped UTF-8: \343\203\214 XML decimal entity: ヌ ============== You see this is a multi-byte character. Between the 'n' and the 'c', three bytes are inserted, together representing the NU. The player you talk about seems to be the one identified as follows in my ssp file: Brito, Elcio Eustaquio de Franca #- BRA [2064] 1952 = Franca, Elcio Eustaquio de B So actually we should not expect any character between the 'n' and the 'c'. Where does it come from? Let's try to find it. Where do you see this character? If it is in the old name, check your database. Search for games played by 'elcio'. If in the board window the name looks also broken, export that game to pgn and check the pgn file with a text (or even hex) editor. What do you see? If it is in the new name, check your ssp file in a text editor. What do you see? If neither of this reveals something, then it is not a data problem, and scid probably goes wrong. Otherwise either your database (I hope not!) or your ssp file has become corrupted.
