<p>Thanks, I will try some of the other modes and see what happens.

characters shown on web pages use Unicode character encoding.
There are several formats of Unicode encodings, but all of
them require that all 8 bits from each byte are transmitted.
Even truncating bytes to 7 bits to squeeze them in 7-bit ASCII
will make the text undecodable.</div>

uses an alphabet with a limited set of characters. Without an
additional processing (e.g. converting to base64) there should
be no reliable way to transmit Unicode text using default text
encoding. However, it should be possible if the software does
some kind of re-encoding internally, and can transparently
transmit binary messages.</div>

<p>I set up a Linux machine with FLdigi and a shortwave rig
with a BFO on it so I could copy the side band audio. The
Chinese characters didn't go through. I messed around
with the encoding choices in the FLdigi configuration.
There is one encoding choice named "Chinese" which I gave
a try on both transmit and receive rigs. Still no joy.
Thing is I was using Google translate to create the
Chinese characters and I have no idea what they use to
encode the translation. <span lang="zh-TW"><span><span>漢字編碼
as you can see I can copy and paste to my email
client, but so far I can't get the characters to fly
through the sky on radio waves....<br>

today. I wondered if I could send Chinese via PSK31. I
went to Google translate and created a short message,
copied the characters and pasted them into the transmit
box in FLdigi. It seemed to work, but I will have to
setup another machine with FLdigi to confirm it actually
gets sent. I guess I could try Russian and Hebrew while
I'm at it. Babble on Babylon.... <br>
