2006-09-25 12:47:00 sverre description Binary package hint: zsh This bug exists in standard Ubuntu 6.06.1 with zsh as added-on application. When running a normal zsh-session (zsh 4.2.5) in GnomeTerminal (2.14.2) the euro-character is not echoed correctly on the command line. Instead, this odd-looking string appears: �^¬ Also some other characters create similar-looking output. This also happens in an xterm-window. When typing the same characters in a bash-session everything is as it should. Running the command locale gives the following output: LANG=sv_FI.UTF-8@euro LANGUAGE=sv_FI.UTF-8@euro LC_CTYPE="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_NUMERIC="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_TIME="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_COLLATE="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_MONETARY="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_MESSAGES="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_PAPER="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_NAME="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_ADDRESS="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_FI.UTF-8@euro" LC_ALL= Binary package hint: zsh This bug exists in standard Ubuntu 6.06.1 with zsh as added-on application.

2006-09-25 13:14:30 Simon Law zsh: statusexplanation According to the ZSH FAQ: "ZLE (the Zsh Line Editor) has no concept of character encodings, and is confused by multi-octet encodings." So this appears to be a known problem with the original authors.
