I run everything internal to screen in UTF-8. Most places I attach from support UTF-8, so screen passes them straight through. Since screen thinks the terminal is ISO-8859-1, it translates what characters it can into that charset, but the terminal displays them in CP437, so, for example, an accented e (é) displays on the terminal as a subscript 9 (₉). (And an actual subscript 9 would just be represented as a question mark, since it's not in ISO-8859-1.) -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- No matter how many shorts the system is having, your guards should be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency. -- Evil Overlord's Handbook, entry 67 ---- --- -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
