2007-03-31 09:32:19 Ralph Janke None: statusexplanation What characters are shown? what is your LOCALE and LANG information in the environment variables? (execute 'env') Do you refer when you enter them through the keyboard, or if you look at a file? What do you use to show them? just cat, or do you use an editor?

Ok.. the characters are definitely UTF-8, they are shown wrongly because the terminal seem to show iso8859-1. I have been able to reproduce it in feisty, it shows it wrongly even it is supposedly in unicode mode.

I have been able to reproduce it in feisty, it shows it wrongly even it is supposedly in unicode mode. This can be reproduced by simply by displaying files containing uft-8 encoded characters on a tty-terminal

2007-05-14 08:19:08 Micah Cowan coreutils: statusexplanation Not a coreutils bug (coreutils is a collection of utilities like cat, cp, mv...). Perhaps console-setup? I didn't get ISO-8859-1 characters when I tried to cat a file with a few UTF-8 characters: instead, I got funky graphics characters (similar to what you'd see if you echo a Control-N to the terminal, followed by text, only twice as tall). Running "setupcon" fixed it instantly. Perhaps there was supposed to be an rc thing that ran at startup, that is no longer happening?
