I have a file which contains non-ASCII characters (umlauts, accented
characters, etc.) both in its filename as well as its content. The
only way I have been able to see these characters is inside vim,
where they are displayed correctly no matter what I have LANG set
to. My default LANG is en_US.utf8, but I have tried de_DE.utf8,
de_DE.iso88591, and various others. In the output of a simple ls,
the characters are shown as either a simple "?" or a "?" in a box
depending on what I have LANG set to, and the same is true if I use
cat to display the contents. I have tried this both in an xterm as
well as a gnome-terminal window on a CentOS 5.3 system.
I am taking stabs in the dark here as I've never had to deal with
LANG and locales before. Am I missing something obvious or is there
more to it than simply setting LANG. Since I can see the characters
correctly in vim, I'm sure it's not a font issue. I just want to be
able to display these characters correctly with simple Linux commands
like ls and cat.
Thanks,
Alfred
