   Hello Paul,   
      
   On 03 Dec 12 at 14:12, you wrote to me:

   Yeah, it definitely doesn't look right. I keep tinkering with it now and   
   again. This time I'm trying all UTF-8. I've redone my locale on my Gentoo box   
   to en_US.UTF-8 and am trying to import and export with Golded using UTF-8.   
   This should be an "e" with two dots over it: ë   
      
   It doesn't look right when I type it here in Golded, but it works when I type   
   it in my linux console. Maybe it will export it properly? If not, back to the   
   drawing board, or wait till someone that knows what the heck they're doing   
   chimes in. :)   
      
    NB>> Not sure how it looks after it's exported, but it's a high ascii   
    NB>> block with a ~, and when I hit enter after it, along came an @   
    NB>> sign after that. :)   
      
    PQ> Give it up and just use a "Euro" string like the rest of us.  :)   
      
   I very well may just end up doing that. lol   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
