What is UTF-8 and how is it used in Pragma Telnet Server?
UTF-8 defines a specification that allows the packaging of the characters in the Unicode character set in 8-bit chunks compatible with standard byte oriented transport protocols. It’s a variable length encoding format, so a single character may be represented as a stream of one to four bytes. In order to use UTF-8 under Pragma Telnet Server, there needs to be agreement between the server and client (this is generally true for any code page support). Under Windows, the UTF-8 code page is defined as 65001. The user needs to configure the client to use UTF-8 (or code page 65001) and also configure Fortress to run under code page 65001. Pragma Telnet Server can be dynamically configured to use a different code page, either by the shell, or a program the changes the code page. In order to change a code page to UTF-8 under cmd.exe, use the chcp command with the following syntax: chcp 65001 Pragma Telnet Server will automatically detect the codepage change and start using it immediately.
