Do you only have chars from the table you link? If so, you have only ISO-7bit chars. As the US-international layout has only ISO-7bit chars on it, inputting anything else would be pretty difficult with that layout. As to text-editor: That has the same issues, except for the keyboard layout. (If you do not use any of the original ASCII/ISO-7bit chars, I would be curious how you enter them with an US keyboard. Windows-key remapped to compose?) I still suspect you switched locales at some point or there is a dropped line-ending or something like that. Did you use cryptsetup directly before and after it stopped working? Same shell? Tried to switch y and z? Some capitalization-error? Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.
