I have downloaded Eggdrop 1.6.20.

Then I have extracted it, and modified main.h and tcl.c: http://eggwiki.org/Utf-8

Then I have compiled and installed it.

But when i try to use unicode:

It sounds to me as if what you did there (the encoding convertfrom) is not a hack, it's the way to convert cp1251 into unicode (tcl is unicode internally), which will then be converted to system encoding (utf-8 if you modified according to that wiki). The problem is that what YOU typed there into that file, is not utf-8, it's cp1251, the file is cp1251 (saving it as utf-8 doesn't change that), because your characters are entered that way (your terminal/system encoding).

To rule out your issues of getting utf-8 stuff into a file you can use Tcls unicode character substitutes: set a "\u0414\u0416\u041A"

Thanks. Bot prints "\u0414\u0416\u041A" correctly.

How can i convert my whole script to UTF8? I use UltaEdit, but i have already tried to convert it without any success.
