I am on sid and first tested with Lynx. Now I performed other tests, here are my results: in this table I represent how e-acute (0xe9 in latin1 encoding) is escaped in the q= part of the results URL. ------------------------------------------- browser\ env.| iso-8859-15 | utf-8 | ------------------------------------------- lynx | %C3%A9 | %C3%83%C2%A9 | w3m-en | %E9 | %C3%A9 | mozilla | %C3%A9 | %C3%A9 | konqueror | %C3%A9 | %C3%A9 | ------------------------------------------- So my problems seems related to text browsers. In UTF-8 environment, the xterm window nicely displays UTF-8 encoded files, I cut'n'paste the French word, and it appears fine in the browser. > Or did you send it from the command line with unencoded non-ASCII > characters?
