I tried for curiosity and xfce4-terminal doesn't show the lock icon for me either ( -- U+1F512) but japanese input (via fcitx) works which I find curious. I tried with several fonts (DejaVu, JuliaMono, IBM Plex, Iosevka).
Re: [PossibleSpam] UTF-8 chars
Thanks again to all of you! xterm is now working!!! Still, xfce4-terminal doesn't seem to use this settings. Don't dare to ask where that setting is digged.

I don't know if xfce sets up this var by itself, but usually you'd need it in your ~/.xsession file.

Re: [PossibleSpam] UTF-8 chars
Using xterm, then CTRL + Right click, I add TrueType and I can display the lock: https://5md.es/l/2cc972f Seems you need a TrueType font do display the trick... == Nowarez Market Robert Palm wrote: > > Seems I have no success... >
Re: [PossibleSpam] UTF-8 chars
Seems I have no success... Did a export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 and use DejaVu Sans Mono Book 12 as xterm font. Can enter, e.g. Σ with CTRL - SHIFT u 03a3 (or simply copy it in xterm). For 1f512 , i.e. , still only a blank. Anything else you specified maybe ? I have xfce-terminal 1.1.1 Quoting Omar Polo : On 2023/12/15 15:33:44 -0600, "Jay F.

This is probably 'just' a font issue. For instance, I'm currently using DejaVu Sans Mono on xterm and it renders the lock icon for me, while on emacs Julia Mono doesn't. Make sure you have a UTF8 locale set too. Does your version of xterm support UTF-8? Uxterm was originally the version of xterm that supported UTF-8. That was a long time ago; on my system, xterm now also supports UTF-8. Maybe on your system you have to install uxterm. xterm on OpenBSD definitely supports and has utf8 enabled.
