Tested that Sophie zip file on linux with spanish locales:
- Using the default locales (LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 & LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8) all I
get when typing "ñ", "á", "é", etc. is a "|" symbol
- Changing to not utf-8 (LANG=es_ES & LC_ALL=es_ES) , I get "|" for "ñ", and
"¬a", "¬e","¬i", etc. for "á", "é", "í", etc.
