Hello there,
I think this was answered in a previous thread which I read ages ago and cant find it now. How would you go about creating and hcmask to find this password P5£X?p*# . I tried running this ?u?d?s?u?s?l?s?s but found nothing. I then looked at the ?s and ?a and found there is no pound sign? So any password i created witht the £ hashcat failed me. Is there a noobs way of fixing this please.
Cheers Kev

The pound-symbol consists of two bytes in UTF-8, namely 0xC2A3. Take a look at this:

You can crack this character by using ?b?b in your mask, or by using --hex-charset -1 C2 -2 A3 ?1?2

I literally gave the answer in my previous post.
A correct syntax for P5£X?p*# would be: -a3 ?u?d?b?b?u?s?l?s?s

just one point ?b?b tries the whole hex 00-ff and therefore generates much more possibilites than you will need
for the most "common" utf-8 special cahrs you dont need this whole set, im using a file with
c2c38284969c9fa2a3a4acbab2b3b6bce2177f090a0d818d8f909d
and option --hex-charset to add these for cracking utf-8 chars like € ä ö ü and so on, you can modify this by your own
