Yeah, using unicode/utf-16 causes “normal” characters to become chinese and using utf-8 causes the chinese characters to be broken. How one cannot love text encoding…

I see… well ya gotta love Microsoft Product Names

With the crappy internet connection installation will take a while. I try to get it compiled and tested tomorrow.

But now I finaly know where the Screenshot was taken lol

As requested:

There is indeed differences in the language settings. But as Skons has pointed out, this affects only the Service.

Server PC

.NET Runtime on the Server is 6.0.3 while on the PC it is 6.0.21

Now let me read up on the remainder of the Thread 😃

Zarox666 on Sep 12, 2023

You’re using this branch? LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent.Staging#14

Yes

For what its worth, I also found this in regards to the OEMcodePage: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1812104/relation-between-net-encoding-and-characterset

Skons on Sep 11, 2023

Fix added to the PR and merged to the bulk PR https://github.com/LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent.Staging/pull/24. Unfortunately for now the only reliable way to get it is to build the project yourself :\ (I don’t recommend accepting exe files/binaries from me or any other random internet user)
