Hi,

I'm always having this issue and never got solved it... Everyone says it easy but can someone give me a clear solution... Without "google is your friend" cause I googled for it like months without any results...

So: I'm trying to read with ASP.NET an lfs config file. But where there are "special" chars in the hostname it displays -> � instead of •

I tried to add:
But offcourse doesn't help... Does anyone know how to fix this once and for all?

Charsets make me feel dizzy, far too confusing for me That character (•) looks different to a Latin 1 (iso-8859-1) middot ·, in fact, I can't find that character in the Latin 1 charset at all which I guess is why it doesn't display. I would recommend you just use UTF-8 for flexibility

is it possible configs for lfs can't be saved as UTF-8? Now lfs says all time that config is invalid... (While it's exactly the same as another one...)

It could be that your editor is not saving the file as UTF-8. Single byte length vs. double byte length. Make sure your editor supports UTF-8 correctly.
