It's probably no issue at all. Your konsole must not be in UTF-8 mode, so it won't allow you to type characters outside your own local locale. What is the value of your $LANG when you start konsole? Try setting it to an UTF-8 locale (like da_DK.UTF-8) in order to see non Latin1 characters. You are right, but I had troubles finding something about the LANG=da_DK.UTF-8 option. Further more I thought that all the unicode stuff now was controlled through dialog boxes and menu entries. What exactly does the meny entry "Unicode" for the console? Actually, all of KDE is Unicode. The only exception to that rule is Konsole, because it operates an environment that, unlike X, isn't Unicode-aware. So you must explicitly tell it that your text-mode applications support UTF-8. That is done by setting the default encoding to the language to UTF-8. If you do not do that, when you paste into Konsole a Unicode codepoint that can't be translated into the encoding being used, it'll replace by a ?. There's nothing wrong with that and that's the expected behaviour. I don't know what the Unicode menu entry does. |
