+Title: Utf8 in an Irssi/tmux/putty/windows Stack
+Date: 2012-06-22
+Tags: irssi, utf8
+
+Getting irssi running with utf8 support in a putty/tmux stack is madness. Here
+is what you have to do.
+
+add lines in .{ba,z}shrc:
+    
+    :::bash
+    export LANG=en_US.utf8
+    export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
+
+add lines in .tmux.conf:
+
+    :::bash
+    set-option -g default-terminal "rxvt"
+    set-window-option -g utf8 on
+
+in irssi:
+    
+    :::bash
+    /set term_charset UTF-8
+    /set recode_autodetect_utf8 ON
+    /set recode_fallback UTF-8
+    /set recode ON
+    /set recode_out_default_charset UTF-8
+    /set recode_transliterate ON
+    /save
+    /quit
+
+in putty config:
+
+    window -> translation -> Received data assumed to be in which character set: UTF-8
+                          -> Use Unicode line drawing code points
