'Mojibake (Zeichensalat)'

…auf einem Wegweiser für den Schiffsverkehr auf der Hunte.

It arrived albeit #FedEx fucked up all #umlauts in my shipping address, even in two different ways:

Once they obviously took #UTF8 as #ISOLatin and once they seem to have taken one #8bit charset as another 8-bit charset, probably #ISOLatin1 as #CP850. 🙄 #schei_encoding #mojibake

@Venty once described systems that have such issues as #UmlautlyChallenged. 😉

But at least it arrived! I heard from a keyboard dealer that they stopped sending parcels to Europe with FedEx due to too much packet loss…

Misleading BOM? Why not?! #bomsAway!

Hmm. Here’s a minor, pointless riddle: What was the 8-bit encoding that gave »youGÇÖll«?
#mojibake #Unicode #EightBit

#great ...

#WinSCP turned my pretty server stored #text file into #mojibake

*#cries*

Ich habe gerade einen Weg gefunden, Test-#Mojibake zu erzeugen und zu korrigieren:
In #cygwin’s #mintty (wahrscheinlich auch in anderen Shells?) kann man das #Encoding explizit einstellen.
Dan schickt man per #echo text in ein #fifo #namedPipe und liest es mit dem anderen encoding mit cat aus.
