EDIT: A simple "man -k unicode" brought up uxterm. Soz for the useless thread guys
I use UTF-8 text files a lot, generally with a byte-order mark. When I use cat, tail, more, or less to display these files, I get a lot of
mojibake. For instance, here's what happens with a file that consists of a byte-order mark and two characters (a©):
Code:
$ file utf8.txt
utf8.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text, with no line terminators
$ hexdump utf8.txt
00000000 bbef 61bf a9c2
00000006
$ cat utf8.txt
ḯ»¿a©
$ more utf8.txt
ḯ»¿a©
$ tail utf8.txt
ḯ»¿a©$
Is this a problem with the programs themselves, or is it the shell, or Eterm? Is there a way (by changing settings or by installing programs) that I can make this display correctly?
