 Since 8.1 Tcl uses Unicode (ISO 10646) for all strings, which is a
 superset of most known one- and two-byte character sets. You probably
 mean ISO 8859-9 Latin 5/Turkish (or 8859-4 North Europe?).

 For reading and writing files in a number of encodings, including those
 two, set the file encoding to the appropriate name (use fconfigure after
 open). [encoding names] tells you which encoding names are available.

 For displaying any Unicode characters outside the 7-bit ASCII range
 (page 00), you can explicitly specify them in the \uXXXX notation, or
 use more legible substitutes (e.g. c` for French c cedilla), which
 before displaying have to be substituted to the correct Unicode (\u00E7,
 or \uE7, for c cedilla). See "Eurolish" at
 http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/wiki/743.html for comprehensive
 substitutions for most European languages.
