Hi Michiel,

Wed 06 Mar 2024 09:26, you -> me:

 BW>>> Bjoern

 GH>> I tried cp850 -> cp866 conversion in GED and it started to show
 GH>> "oe"
 GH>> :-) It's kinda alright, isn't it?

 MV> In German there is a transliteration to replace the 'ö' (o
 MV> diareresis) with 'oe'. But that only works in German. In Dutch and
 MV> Scandinavian the 'oe' is already "taken" for another vowel.

Well, at least it's more accurate, unlike that "phi" character that shows without conversion.

 MV> Sorry mate, to have both Cyrillic and Latin with diareses in one and
 MV> the same message you need UTF-8. ;-)

That's it, I see that you do use the utf-8 charset and simply type/paste the needed character (which on my end shows as 'ö'), nonetheless everyone keeps telling me GED doesn't support utf-8. Does it now, or am doing something wrong? Or does it provide only partial support of European alphabets?
