After updating perl to latest 5.38.0. The Chinese characters are not displayed properly if the LANG is zh_CN.UTF-8.
In the function Perl_init_i18nl10n() of perl's locale.c Perl_init_i18nl10n() { ...... uselocale(PL_C_locale_obj); /* zh_CN.UTF-8 returned not expected C if setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL); */ ...... } and thus when perl try to emulate_setlocale_i() in line 5636 it found that the LC_CTYPE are both the same in line 1176 and return back in line 1198. But the nl_langinfo(CODESET) is "ANSI_X3.4‐1968" returned not "UTF-8". --- rxvt-unicode-9.31.orig/src/rxvtperl.xs 2022-12-31 03:18:20.000000000 +0800 +++ rxvt-unicode-9.31/src/rxvtperl.xs 2023-07-07 11:03:55.307007386 +0800 @@ -399,7 +399,7 @@ { if (!perl) { - rxvt_push_locale (""); // perl init destroys current locale + rxvt_push_locale ("C"); // perl init destroys current locale { perl_environ = rxvt_environ; _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list rxvt-unicode@lists.schmorp.de http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
