A much better solution is to simply tell your terminal emulator to use the UTF-8 character set.

The problem is that a program can not reliably "detect" what encoding is in use, whether it's a latin, or japanese, or UTF-8 encoding... That's why RHL 8 is using UTF-8 by default: UTF-8 can display all of the worlds character sets in one encoding. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
