vim powerline in windows 7

I am trying to install VIM Powerline on window, I found a comment which supposed to fix how it looks in Windows, but encoding of the comment is broken by itself...

The link to the blog post.

I had the same problem on windows. As an alternative to editing “vim-powerline-develop\autoload\Powerline\Functions.vim”, you can also add this to your vimrc:

    let g:Powerline_mode_V=”V·LINE
    let g:Powerline_mode_cv=”V·BLOCK”
    let g:Powerline_mode_S=”S·LINE”
    let g:Powerline_mode_cs=”S·BLOCK”

I don't know how to type the cdot operator in my keyboard (sorry for the name, I guess I am too much into Latex ...). So, what am I supposed to do to make VIM behave under windows?

To get the middle dot, the easiest and pragmatic way would be just pasting it from the clipboard.

For direct text entry, you can enter by the character encoding's numerical value: <C-v>183, see :help i_CTRL-V_digit. On Windows, you often need to use <C-q> instead of <C-v>.

Vim also has a feature called digraphs for quick entry of special characters. The middle dot would be <C-k>.M.

For any of these to work, your text encoding must support the non-ASCII character. Best use a value of

:set encoding=utf-8

and ensure that your ~/.vimrc is UTF-8 encoded.
