Thanks, David, and thanks to Roger and Markus too.
But what about turning UTF8 mode off?
I mean, I'd like to go back to my previous state,
when the message 'Already in UTF8 mode' did not appear
and no problems were there in inputting and displaying latin characters.
In fact, I didn't start this UTF8 mode on purpose,
it was just a non wanted side effect of my configuring efforts
in order to install scim and mule-gbk:
I don't even know how I managed to settle it down.
Maybe with '$ sh ~/.i18n' after editing the file ~/.i18n as follows:
LANGUAGE=it_IT.UTF-8
XIM_PROGRAM=scim
CONSOLE_NOT_LOCALIZED=yes
LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8
XIM=SCIM
LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NAME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=it_IT.UTF-8
ENC=it
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=it_IT.UTF-8
XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=it_IT.UTF-8
? But then I removed the file ~/.i18n.
On the other hand, here is the file '/etc/sysconfig/i18n':
SYSFONTACM=iso15
LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT
LC_CTYPE=it_IT
LANGUAGE=it_IT:it
LC_MONETARY=it_IT
LC_ADDRESS=it_IT
LC_COLLATE=it_IT
LC_NAME=it_IT
LC_PAPER=it_IT
LC_NUMERIC=it_IT
SYSFONT=lat0-16
LC_TIME=it_IT
LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT
LANG=it_IT
LC_MESSAGES=it_IT
LC_IDENTIFICATION=it_IT
I can't see any occurrencies of 'UTF8 mode' to be put off.
Or maybe I settled it down when I added the following lines to my
.bash_profile file:
export LANG=it_IT.utf8
export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.gbk
? But later I removed this file too.
I've tried to get off UTF8 mode with '# unicode_stop',
but it didn't work. Any hint?
Cheers,
Rodolfo
