* ***** An important command *********
When the graphic interface is used, it is still easy to handle. If you change the encoding directly, it will be OK. Generally, the default value in the chat room is UTF-8,
But there are also chat rooms that use gbk23012gbk10380!
So there is a command on the terminal to encode it!
**********************************
/Recode add # fedora utf8;
Add the channel encoding format and/recode to view the added encoding list.
