I’ve got a machine running OpenBSD 8.0 with all the patches (as of a few minutes ago).
I’ve set LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8. printenv shows that it’s set. My terminal type when I ssh in is xterm-256color. The terminal I’m using on my Chromebook is hterm (https://hterm.org/x/ssh/faq ) which supports UTF-8, and I’m using Google’s “Noto Sans Mono” as my terminal font, which has the characters I’m testing. If I type a ¢ into it, for example, I get the hex-escapes displayed in /usr/bin/vi, but when I save the file and dump it using more or cat, the ¢ comes out correctly. Is there some setting I need to tweak to get vi to display UTF-8 characters correctly, or am I just running into a limitation of vi here? I don’t need anything more than ASCII most of the time, but it would be nice to be able to make sure I’ve typed the correct unichar without having to ^z out and cat the file to be sure. Thanks! -DaveP
