I just get the '123' on the page, Hebrew characters stripped.
man watch says:
Non-printing characters are stripped from program output.
Use "cat -v" as part of the command pipeline if you want to see
them.
but if I try
$ watch "echo שלום123|cat -v"
I get something like:
M-WM-)M-WM-^\M-WM-^UM-WM-^]123
Any way to idea Hebrew characters under watch?
This works for iso-8859-8 locale, but not for UTF-8 locale. I think it's
a bug in both watch (for treating these characters as unprintables) and
in cat (for the same reason).
I do believe they have problems dealing with multi-byte characters. I
have nothing to suggest besides sending a bug report.
