need help with these character codes

When i want the character § to appear when my tcl script is saying something, all i get is §
the same with other characters

Æ - Æ
Ø - Ø
Å - Ã…
æ - æ
ø - ø
å - Ã¥
§ - §

Someone here that can help me with this problem?
since my channel is in Norwegian these characters is vital.
example when people want to read the channel rules etc.

In advance Thank YOU

Contact your shell Admin. This is usually a problem with Unicode settings.

not a shell problem at all

do a forum search for "encoding" and clues on how to solve it

the likely reason for your issue is reading from file with different than default system's encoding

well, if you classify modifications in default environment (variables) as "shell problem", you might have a point here; however, you have full control over these variables for your shell sessions (and therefore for your processes), so you don't really need to bother your admin, you can (and should) fix that yourself

I didn't cause it so he fixed it (apart from the fact I had no idea what my friend did in the first place).

PS: He didn't have a clue what he did either. LOL
