16. Recode
irssi supports selective encoding of incoming/outgoing messages
through the recode system. All incoming/outgoing messages can be
optionally converted to/from the charset specified by the
`term_charset' variable (which defaults to the locale encoding and
should _not_ be changed in most cases), by setting the `recode'
variable to 'ON'.
Since there is no way in IRC to know the encoding associated to a
message, for incoming messages irssi uses the following algorithm:
if `recode_autodetect_utf8' is 'ON' and the message is valid UTF-8 the
encoding is assumed to be UTF-8.
if an encoding is set for the target (through /recode) use it,
otherwise fallback to the value of `recode_fallback'.
For outgoing messages it is simpler:
if an encoding is set for the target (through /recode) use it,
otherwise fallback to the value of `recode_out_default_charset'.
/SET recode_transliterate - Append '//TRANSLIT' to the destination
encoding for both incoming/outgoing messages. '//TRANSLIT' is a GNU
iconv specific extension to peform transliteration (locale dependent)
when a character is not representable in the destination encoding.
