I use en_US.UTF-8 everywhere 8859-1 can just get you in trouble these days brycec, it can't ingest them, but it does spit them out unfortunately hmm so if I set XTerm*locale true I can see the text but still get french letters instead of quotes If I do that and LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 I get fancy curly quotes (and god forbid I try to copy and paste them) in either case I have to change the font to iso10464-1 encoding explicitly or it uses fixed instead Are you using uxterm? no xterm with locale set though the man page uxterm(1) actually says what xterm does with non-Unicode fonts the font is picked with the wildcard encoding without knowledge that it should be the iso10646 for Unicode ... Some applications support ISO 10646 characters but do not fully support Unicode. One such application, Xterm, can properly display all ISO 10646 characters that have a one-to-one character-to-glyph mapping It can handle some combining marks by simple overstriking methods, but cannot display Hebrew (bidirectional), Devanagari (one character to many glyphs) or Arabic (both features) Ditch Xterm, it seems. Welcome to the UTF world yeah but all I want is to be able to SSH to Linux machines with newfangled GCC versions which print out curly quotes ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Character_Set Universal Character Set :: The Universal Character Set (UCS), defined by the International Standard ISO/IEC 10646, Information technology — Universal multiple-octet coded character set (UCS) (plus amendments to that standard), is a standard set of characters upon which many character encodings are based. The UCS contains nearly one hundred thousand abstract characters, each identified by an unambiguous name and an integer number called its code I'm not sure how you fit Arabic or Devana.. can't spell.. Indian script into a terminal anyway "fit"? it's not like they have excessively wide characters. :) no but they're all combined and Arabic at least is backwards ऊ that's a devana character. ؏ Hmm. that would have been an arabic charcter. :) ॠ ☰ trigram for heaven. ♲ recycle anyway. :) none of that displayed. I think tmux because I "fixed" xterm or maybe xterm doesn't support that either umm, tmux should support it. i don't think i did anything fancy to my tmux install aside from installing and adjusting the key combos to match screen tmux recognizes whether it's in UTF mode by the locale otherwise you have to use -i i'd hope so, silly to have separate cfg for it err.. -u you probably have such a locale but I'm not restarting tmux to check I do i have whatever locale centos set for me by default and whatever osx gives me for this terminal tmux was designed to be restarted. :) the server would have to be restarted this is client side, not server side it won't matter there it does too matter could just create a new window and ask the terminal, no? I did you must be forcing some non-utf locale in your shell startup then or using an OS that defaults to C like POSIX says yeah.. my zsh forces LC_ALL to be sensible :) to no longer be stuck in the 90s :) That's what she said!! more like 70s. plan 9 supports (invented) utf-8 just fine well - the rest of the world was still using 8859-X variants what does setting C locale do? i seem to remember it works better soemtimes. i have LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 i don't know if htat's good or bad TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color i also have that, which breaks some destinations and so i have to redefine my terminal type. C locale is classic mode, before UTF8 one char = one byte @weather yyz Toronto-Pearson International, Ontario: Scattered Clouds 19°F (-7°C), Humidity: 74%, Wind: From the NE at 2 MPH -- For more details including the forecast and almanac, see http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=43.67722321,-79.63055420 or re-request this with: @weather -v yyz @weather -v yyz Toronto-Pearson International, Ontario: Scattered Clouds 19°F (-7°C), Humidity: 74%, Wind: From the NE at 2 MPH, Pressure: 30.29inHg (1026mb) and holding, Dewpoint: 12°F (-11°C), Visibility: 15Mi (24km), UV index: 0, Sunrise 07:24, Sunset: 17:41, Lunar phase: Third quarter Tuesday: Overcast 23°F/14°F (-5°C/-10°C) | Wednesday: Snow Showers 29°F/20°F (-2°C/-7°C) | Thursday: Partly Cloudy 19°F/-7°F (-7°C/-22°C) | Friday: Clear 12°F/4°F (-11°C/-16°C) The average high for this date is 29°F (-1°C), and the record of 50°F (10°C) was set in 2001.

KNMALBUQ184, 132 and 48 or you just live in a weather geek area :) yeah, i guess it'd be nice if it can get more data from more of them but i think it doesn't aggregate them the wind speeds are routinely way off because they vary so much by the smallest distance Brycec, oh i wasn't excited about having lower speeds, i was excited about having "near enough" speeds without using stupid non open source nat hacks. i really don't trust these atheros/broadcom/etc firmwares ah thanks for the clarity But that's mostly for the control esp. because I just want a basic AP what kernel version is it using? i like gargoyle, but it doesn't work with ath10k atm it sems i just want a basic bridge no intelligence at all there's meant to be some new ath10k improvements coming in, but even the development openwrt seems to be 3.14 i was just running stock firmware before i replaced my linksys APs w/ubnt stuff radio perf was shit with dd-wrt or tomato ^ i had terrible wifi until i used an alternative firmware that the module loads when it starts i used to use tp-link 1043 as wireless ap years back with ipv6 and it "just worked" mercutio: 3.5.7.33 hmm that's pretty old gargoyle stable relase is 3.3.8 though Relatively, yeah. But it works... I get full wifi performance through it, so I don't care its version. what's full? 300mbps give or take yeah that's good i have found that routers vary a lot i used to find some struggled to do 30 megabit I have a buttload of bottlenecks before router performance were ever an issue. (interference / channel crowding) but i can do 30 megabit even on wireless g boo crowding oh yeah 5 ghz can make a lot of difference for some reason here 2.4 ghz gets random hiccups And it does... for the devices that support it :p like throughput is fine on 2.4 ghz normally it'll just randomly cut out for a moment (and his Nexus 7) it's happened through multiple modems etc, i am wondering if it's my car alarm do car alarms with remote openers spray crap over 2.4 ghz intermittently? i cant' really think what else it could be Most car remotes are in the 433 or 900 MHz bands oh (And also use DSS) i never trusted 2.4 Microwave overns on the other hand... They tend to blast across the 1.9-2.4 yeah it happens with no microwave ovens on in the house unless it counts neighbours i've tried various channels etc (Yeah neighbours would affect) i just figure 2.4 sucks oh even in non connected houses? Radio waves, man i suppose best just to use 5 ghz i think there was some idea of 3.6 ghz or something but 5 ghz actually goes around my house better than 2.4 it seems i thought range was meant to be worse :/ It is. How odd. Though there are building materials that would interfere with 2.4 and not other bands yeah could be I should just say materials in general there's steel beams or something the wifi here suucks like a little dongle thing was unsable. and changing routers i got up from 1 to 10 megabit outside but inside it gives 30 megabit on cellphone and 100 megabit on tablet but 10 megabit is a lot more usable than 1 megabit it was even cutting out completely before my idea is to try and bounce and move around near outside so it's just one wall beacuse although it works "outside" it cuts out if you walk too far outside i suppose a nice solution would be external ap but not that practical.
