How can I check what encoding (ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 etc) my Terminal uses?It shouldn't matter, but I am using Konsole on KDE3.5.
What encoding does my Konsole support?
kde;terminal;character encoding
From a Unicode and UTF-8 FAQ for UNIX/Linux: You can get a list of all locales installed on your system (usually in /usr/lib/locale/) with the command locale -a. Set the environment variable LANG to the name of your preferred locale.Konsole supports whatever your system supports - the important thing is that you export LANG in your shell so that the programs you run display their characters using the correct locale.
