Question
Does the shell provide Unicode support?
Answer
Yes. Both for commandline programs and for webpages.
Problem #1 - Commandline programs
Localized characters doesn't display correctly in irssi, nano etc (they are replaced with questionmarks, squares or something similar.)
Solution:
Write this command at the shell prompt
echo 'export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"' >> ~/.bashrc
Next time you log in your shell will be in unicode.
To use unicode in irssi, type this in the command prompt in irssi:
/set term_charset UTF-8
Use this command if you want to send text in another charset to other users that are still using ISO for example:
/set recode_out_default_charset iso-8859-1
Remember that you have to change the charset in your SSH-client aswell! Use the translation option in putty for example.
Problem #2 - Webpages
Characers in webpages doesn't display correctly.
Solution:
Save the webpages in UTF-8 from your text-editor. Then create a new file named .htaccess in the same directory as your webpages (public_html) with the following content:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
