lxterminal UTF-8 support non-extant?
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2019 10:10 pm
lxtermnal appears to not support UTF-8 at all.
When started with no arguments, echo -e '\xe2\x82\xac' shows three garbage characters rather than the expected euro sign.
Some internet posts suggest LANG=en_US.UTF-8 would work; I have en_US.UTF-8 and the toolkit recognizes this (warning on terminal appears if I misspell it but not if I spell it correctly) but it doesn't appear to do anything, and the variable is reset to en_US and the terminal still doesn't support UTF-8.
Not sure if my distro (debian buster) has a problem or if I need to throw some other switch I can't seem to find or if there's some bug or if it's just plain old not implemented.
