Bug ID: 500515
Summary: [export/html] html output has random glyph, not
looking like what I have in Konsole
Classification: Applications
Product: konsole
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: i...@davidrevoy.com
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
I love exporting terminal output of konsole as html but the result is always
broken as soon as a special character is part of the output.
## How to reproduce
1. Open Konsole
2. Write command lines that output special characters (eg. 'tree' is good for
that)
3. Export the output as HTML (File → Save Output As and select an html file
format).
4. Host your HTML file, and open it in Firefox.
## Result:
The special characters are corrupted, and random glyph appears. Example:

## Expectation
It should looks like what I had in konsole, like that:

## Workaround
I saw the html output file don't have any header, or set any charsets. If one
manually edit the html output file with Kate, and insert at the start of the
file:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
```
Then the output will be readable again. Here is an example:

Too bad this workaround is tedious to do over and over again, I would
appreciate an automatic way to get this (or another fix) to read and transmit
my HTML output correctly. Thank you.
