<title>Charset plugin</title>
<para>
Charset plugin lets you encode or decode data using charsets, with 3
levels: global, by server, or by channel.
This plugin is optional, but recommended: if it's not loaded, WeeChat
can only read/write UTF-8 data.
</para>
<para>
Charset plugin should be autoloaded by WeeChat at startup.
To be sure plugin is loaded, try:
"<literal>/charset</literal>".
If command is not found, then load plugin with command:
<screen>/plugin load charset</screen>
If plugin is not found, then you should compile again WeeChat with
plugins and Charset support.
</para>
<para>
When Charset plugin starts, it displays terminal and internal charsets.
Terminal charset depends on your locale, and internal is UTF-8.
For example :
<screen>
-P- Charset plugin starting, terminal charset: ISO-8859-15 (WeeChat internal: UTF-8)
</screen>
</para>
<section id="secCharsetSettings">
<title>Settings</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
To set global decode and encode charsets, use
"<literal>/setp</literal>" command.
For example:
<screen>
/setp charset.global.decode = ISO-8859-15
/setp charset.global.encode = ISO-8859-15
</screen>
If global decode charset is not set (for example during first
load of Charset plugin), it will be automatically set to terminal
charset (if it's different from UTF-8), or by default to
"<literal>ISO-8859-1</literal>".
Default encode value is empty, so it sends by default with
internal charset (UTF-8).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
To set server charset, use "<literal>/charset</literal>" command
on server buffer.
If you give only charset, then it will set "decode" and "encode"
values.
For example:
<screen>/charset ISO-8859-15</screen>
It's equivalent to:
<screen>
/charset decode ISO-8859-15
/charset encode ISO-8859-15
</screen>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
To set channel (or private) charset, use same commands as server,
but on channel (or private) buffer.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<title>FAQ</title>
<para>
If you have problems with chars or accents using Charset plugin:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
check that weechat-curses is linked to libncursesw (warning:
needed on most distributions but not all) :
<screen>ldd /path/to/weechat-curses</screen>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
check charset line (on server buffer), you should see
ISO-XXXXXX or UTF-8 for terminal charset. If you see
ANSI_X3.4-1968 or other values, probably your locale is wrong.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
setup global decode value, for example:
<screen>/setp charset.global.decode = ISO-8859-15</screen>
</para>
