Character encodings

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to pose my question, but I'm hoping
that someone will be able to shed some light.

I use TortoiseSVN on Windows to commit my changes. The message logs that I
use often include accented characters such as the acute e. When I use the
Command prompt to retrieve the log, everthing is as expected. There is,
therefore some sort of consistancy of character encodings.

Now, when I try to view the repository using ViewCVS, my accented characters
don't come out correctly at all. Looking in to the problem a little further,
I discover that the character code returned for the acute e is 0x82, which
is in fact a "low quote" under the Windows character encoding.

This is strange since the Windows encodings place this character at 0xE9.
Indeed, had it been E9, ViewCVS would have displayed it correctly since the
acute e is also at E9 under ISO 8859-1.

Can anyone explain what's going on.

Tim
