Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Recently, Unicode support seems to have been mangled in gnome-terminal.
The default encoding was set to "Unicode (UTF-8)" before, but now it is
set to this weird "ANSIX3.4-1968 (Current locale)". If I manually change
it to Unicode, cat and grep will *display* Unicode, but I can't input
for example "é" with my keyboard layout (USA Dvorak International). The
Terminal window just blinks. Copying and pasting text with the mouse or
keyboard produces weird results - For example, pasting "Díaz" results in
just "Dz" in the shell, and "Bâtiment" results in "Btiment". Shell
applications are also having trouble parsing Unicode - `gnokii
--writephonebook --overwrite --memory-type ME --vcard < ~/contacts.vcf`
results in wrong characters written to the phone.
I can't remove ANSIX3.4-1968 in the "Add or Remove Terminal Encodings"
interface.
I am able to input and copy Unicode characters in other GNOME and non-
GNOME applications, such as the keyboard preferences "Type to test
settings" field, Firefox, and jEdit.
$ export | grep -i lang
declare -x GDM_LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
declare -x LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
How can I set the correct default encoding for GNOME Terminal?
