Run # pkg-reconfigure locales and select a Unicode locale (eg en_GB.UTF-8) as the default system locale. Log out of GNOME and log back in. Launch gnome-terminal and check that the menu item Terminal -> Set Character Encoding -> Current Locale shows the UTF-8 locale. If so you should be able to paste any Unicode character that you like into gnome terminal. Of course it would be nice if gnome-terminal warned you when you tried to paste a string containing an unsupported character into the terminal rather that just silently failing the paste. This probably deserves to be forwarded upstream. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
