# E-scripts on using codepage850, latin1+ and the math-enhanced
#   versions of these charsets
#
# Note 1: use the eev command (defined in eev.el) and the
# ee alias (in my .zshrc) to execute parts of this file.
# Executing this file as a whole makes no sense.
# An introduction to eev can be found here:
#
#   (find-eev-quick-intro)
#   http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html
#
# Note 2: be VERY careful and make sure you understand what
# you're doing.
#
# Note 3: If you use a shell other than zsh things like |&
# and the for loops may not work.
#
# Note 4: I always run as root.
#
# Note 5: some parts are too old and don't work anymore. Some
# never worked.
#
# Note 6: the definitions for the find-xxxfile commands are on my
# .emacs.
#
# Note 7: if you see a strange command check my .zshrc -- it may
# be defined there as a function or an alias.
#
# Note 8: the sections without dates are always older than the
# sections with dates.

<edrx> anyone knows 1) the name of this encoding 2) if recode can
       deal with it? when I unzip .zips that contains files with
       accents in their filenames I oftern get filenames like this:
       "Hoje n#U00e3o Haver#U00e1 Sa#U00edda Livre"
<grym> maybe i can go swimming in it legally in 2022
       https://thecharles.org/city-splash/ 
<homerj> edrx: I think if you light a candle and say that, you can
         talk to dead people
<bpalmer> edrx: unicode e3 is latin small letter a with tilde;
          would that make sense?
*** clone QUIT Quit: WeeChat 3.1
<homerj> apalmer, known for half lemonade/half iced tea
<bpalmer> and similarly e1 is small letter a with bacute accent,
          and ed is small letter i with acute accent.
<edrx> bpalmer: yes, that's it. after conversion that would be
       "Hoje não haverá saída livre".
<homerj> bpalmer, known for memorizing unicode
*** muto JOIN
<bpalmer> edrx: so it looks like the dumbest possible way of
          generating a filename that every filesystem should
          accept.
<bpalmer> (ignoring length)
<edrx> bpalmer: agreed
<bpalmer> I had to look up a unicode table, sadly.
*** hmmmas JOIN
*** holomorph JOIN
<edrx> I can adapt this code -
       https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/eev/2021-06/msg00010.html
       - to recognize this encoding, but it would be easier to just
       run "recode thisencoding..l1" on each filename.
*** irek JOIN
*** abhixec_ QUIT Ping timeout: 268 seconds
