screen and UTF-8 (continued)

Posted on Thursday, 25th October, 2007 in Gentoo

OK, since I last posted about my problems with screen and irssi being unable to handle unicode chars, I got a lot of feedback (here or on IRC), and actually it was Alexander who pointed me into the right direction. LANG=C doesn’t seem to support UTF-8 characters. So after adding

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF8"
export LANG="en_US.UTF8"

to my environment *everything* is just fine … :shock:
