Forums Scripts & Popups $utfencode & $utfdecode

Hello all,

I am having trouble with the following. I use mirc on a server that supports unicode characters. Now the nicknames display OK. Unicode that I send is displayed OK too.

I created a gradient generator that gives every character it's own color. Since I need to keep the unicode for each character in tact I am converting it to to UTF-8:

$utfdecode(﴾Ɣ﴿ⓨⓢⓣⓘⓒ★§ⓟⓔⓛⓛ)

wich will turn it in to: ﴾Ɣ﴿ⓨⓢⓣⓘⓒ★§ⓟⓔⓛⓛ

then seperate the characters and, insert the color code in the end return it back to unicode.

$utfencode(result)

Now this works fine for characters that are within the 256 range but everything beond that gets turned into a ?.

Any suggestions on how to circomvent/fix this?

Many thanks
