Which character encoding is your terminal btw?

drfiemost commented 1 year ago

It's UTF8

mywave82 commented 1 year ago

Please double check that the fault is not in SID file before digging yourself deep in, they should be stored in latin1 which is one way compatible with UTF-8. Atleast to my knowledge

drfiemost commented 1 year ago

No, they're compatible only for the ASCII part, see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9C#Computing_codes The same is already done in the player for the song info using iconv.

You're right, I forgot the encoding. Latin1 converts directly into 8bit unicodes as is, but needs the utf-8 encoding to be applied.
