How to send chinese characters?

[NMC-DAVE]

Hi,
I want to send chinese characters with errbot + slack. But the message is messy. For example:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from errbot import BotPlugin, botcmd, re_botcmd
class Example(BotPlugin):
    @botcmd  # flags a command
    def tryme(self, msg, args):  # a command callable with !tryme
        return '您好!'  # This string format is markdown.

And in slack, the message turn to:

!tryme
鎮ㄥソ!

So, how can I fix this? Thanks very much!

Does it work with the text backend?

With the text backend, I got the same thing:

[31m[@kan ➡ @errbot] [36m>>> [0m!tryme
鎮ㄥソ!

In addition, when I run errbot, the warning message was shown:

Starting errbot with a default system encoding other than 'utf-8' might cause you a heap of troubles. Your current encoding is set at 'cp936'

Can you start the bot under debugger and see where utf-8 is failing us?

I'm not able to reproduce this issue in the latest release.

    @botcmd  # flags a command
    def issue1193(self, msg, args):  # a command callable with !tryme
        return '您好!'  # This string format is markdown.

Result

[@sijis ➡ @errbot] >>> !issue1193
您好!
