The characters I'm tring to print are the "italian single letter" that on a us keyboard I would type as " a` ", " e` ", " e' ", " i` ", "o` ", " u` " ... I repeat that the strange thing is that _only_ tty1 as this strange beahviour .. not dipending on the user logged in (infact I have this problem already at login time, when I have to type the login name... If I'd have a login name containing one of this characters I could not login from tty1)... Is tty1 somehow special in respect to other ttys ??? > > Sounds like you're trying to print Latin-1 on an UTF-8 console or vice > versa. > >         echo -ne '\\033%G'      -- Enable UTF-8 >         echo -ne '\\033%@'      -- Disable UTF-8 > >         -hpa --
