Heh heh, I'll have to correct myself now you've mentioned it! Unfortunately the VT500-series Programmer References have a typo, which I blindly copied. The sequences are CSI ? 81 h and CSI ? 81 l, not CSI 81 h, etc. However, they should not be used to turn on a mode other than KPM. Any custom UTF-8 trickery should use a new mode code. I'd like to hear more from the original poster about the requirement for this encoding, and why it would need to be transparent to Linux console and PuTTY. Without wishing to be rude, I think the problem should be defined before the solution. - Paul -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
