Why do I want it?

If your players sometimes typing at chat or at signs using Russian language this plugin is required to provide players full compatibility with UTF-8.

Commands:

/cpfix — Show current configuration
/cpfix reload — Reloads configuration

Configuration

To configure plugin, you must edit config.yml file and type /cpfix reload to reload configuration from the file:

character.txt file includes charsets containing "wrong" character set and "right" characters set. If typed message contains any wrong symbol (character located at the first line) it will be replaced with character located in "right" character set (second line) in same position. If you don't need to correct Russian symbols, but you going to replace any symbol with another - you use this plugin to do it. Just configure this characters sets. The third line of characters is a white-list — characters allowed to type in chat. If your players use another code-page, unknown characters will be replaced with "_" symbol. Default character.txt:
