Tom, I assume that one word directory names follow the character string definition in locale. So, yes, I assume they show their correct UTF-8 names. Just ran tree on ~/ and copied last few lines of the output to a file: ├── legal ├── palmer │ ├── laxare │ └── suppl-rpt ├── past ├── permitting └── wallace ├── laxare └── response shell-scripts ├── awk ├── perl ├── python └── sed Running the file command on this test file tells me: $ file test.txt test.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text BUT, when I copy that output to this message the language coding has been changed to koi8-r. I'd really like to understand why. Does it have something to do with alpine, or urxvt, or something else? > If that is so, and you do not like it, rename them.
