Hi everybody.

I'm currently using a PHP script to download messages through a POP3

application (a help desk manager). As long as we use a lot of accents in
spanish: á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ; those characters appears as =F1, =E9, =ED, =F3,
etc.

What type of encoding is it ?
Which PHP function should I use to decode it ?



David:

After some thought, the chr() may be limited to 
ASCII, which ends at 7F (127 dec). You may be 
able to work with the "Extended ASCII" codes 
which go up to 255 -- however, the characters 
vary between OS -- thus the "Extended ASCII" 
because it's not really ASCII.

David:

The encoding is Unicode code points.

00F1 is HEX for ñ
00E9 is HEX for é
00ED is HEX for í

and so on.

To decode, it's:



However, to display it, you have to have a font 
capable of displaying the code point.
