The entry for LESSCHARSET in /etc/locale will not change your utf-8 locale at all, it will just make sure manpages are displayed correctly on your system!Thank you, and it works. But I'm not use English, I need utf-8 locale. Now, I simply alias man='LESSCHARSET=latin1 man'. I wonder is there a better way?

Real machines use encodings such as UTF-8, which is backwards compatible with ASCII not latin1. Characters beyond ASCII are encoded with two or more bytes, following a slightly complex algorithm -- see the Unicode documentation for details :-)I thought that the whole point of utf8 was that it was completely backwards compatible with latin1? |
