Do this: echo 'defutf8 on' >> ~/.screenrc Then screen presents a UTF-8 interface to the shell and other programs, regardless of what kind of terminal you connect from :) (It's a bit overkill, no actually it's a lot overkill, and you have the annoyance of screen intercepting at least one commonly used editing key.) (Just remember to set the LANG environment variable to include ".UTF-8" so that screen-oriented programs know to display properly. I do it automatically using a script which queries the current terminal, to workaround ssh not forwarding LANG). > I think there are a few editors that actually do ("mined" looks like it > should do it). Emacs does, of course. -- Jamie
