I have had a wierd condition several years now, which involves, among other things, a personality change and cognitive problems. 6 out of 7 days I have it under control because I'm aware of it and have by now one zillion rules and methods to reduce it, but the 7th day, it hits me so hard I'm unaware of it, thinking I'm well, and then why care about the rules etc? Anyway I don't want to talk about it but just felt I had to apologize. OK, as for the question ... I got a mail the other day: πšƒπšŠ πšŽπš— πšπš’πš— πš‹πš’πš•πš πšŸπšŽπšπšπš“πšŠ. π™Ίπš˜πš–πš–πšŽπš πš—πšŽπš› πšπš˜Μˆπš› πš’πš—πšœπš™πšŽπš”πšπš’πš˜πš— πš’πš–πš˜πš›πšπš™πš— This shows up as diamonds for me on the Linux VTs (512 glyphs). It is MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE... What is it, why did it appear (I mean broadly speaking, not that someone sent it to me, I get that), and can I configure Emacs globally and/or the Gnus post (article) buffer in particular to automatically translate (wash) it to, in this case, "Ta en..." ? I'll try to solve it, next... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
