If the \u0301 symbol were added to the clipboard then pasted into the editbox of a channel whose font is Segoe UI Symbol, the \u0301 does correctly appear in the editbox with the accent mark over the 'e'.
//clipboard caf $+ $chr($base(00e9,16,10)) cafe $+ $chr($base(0301,16,10))
But as soon as you press <enter> and the message appears in channel, the text in the channel message area appears as Wims described, as if a normal 'e'.
I wonder if this is also causing what I see when trying to display chess pieces in #channel or in a @picture window.
//clipboard $replace(R N B Q K B N R,R,$chr(9814),N,$chr(9816),B,$chr(9815),Q,$chr(9813),K,$chr(9812))
If I paste the above chess clipboard into the editbox of a #channel whose font is Consolas or most other fonts, the editbox shows the symbols correctly. However when I press <enter> to display them in #channel, or draw them into a @picture, the icons are instead displayed with a poor replica, where the queen icon has a few low-resolution vertical spikes like Bart Simpson's haircut. Only when I change to a few fonts like MS Gothic do the symbols look like they do in the editbox, or when I paste those chess pieces into Notepad using Consolas.
In looking at /run charmap, it seems that the poor quality chess symbols exist in Fixedsys Excelsior 3.01, so mIRC is linking from that instead of getting them from where-ever Windows gets them from.
So I'm guessing that somewhere in the mIRC font-linking list, there's a font that shows a non-accented glyph for this?
Is it possible to edit the content/sequence of mIRC's own font-linking choices, or do I need to uninstall Excelsior 3.01 to stop that linking? Or if I do uninstall 3.01, is it going to use v2 or Excelsior NoLiga instead of Excelsior Regular? Excelsior are the only fonts that show the color control codes in the scripts editor using helpful symbols like [b] [c] [o].
There is at least 1 exception where the editbox gets it wrong. When I change channel font to "Emoji One Color", everything I type in the editbox is all compressed on top of each other, but when i press <enter> the text displays normally into channel.
