Description gerhard 2002-02-18 21:39:12 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konsole
Version:           KDE 2.2.2 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

As the KDE projects seems to take i18n quite seriously I wonder why konsole doesn't yet have an utf-8 mode. You need this for internationalized CLI applications. xterm has this when invoked with "xterm -u8". multi-gnome-terminal also seems to have this but it seems broken.

I'd really like to see this in KDE 3 :-)

You sure have read the documentation did you? Unlike xterm konsole can 
enable and disable this dynamicly:
"Utf-8 code is enabled and disabled by sending <ESC>%G or <ESC>%@."
