I am currently experiencing difficulty in writing text files containing
French characters on my OpenBSD 4.0 server via SSH.
On both the FreeBSD client system and on the OpenBSD server system I
have the following:
~/.profile:
export LANG="C"
export LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"
export LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"
~/.inputrc:
set convert-meta Off
set editing-mode emacs
set input-meta On
set output-meta On
Note that I am contacting the FreeBSD system from a Ubuntu Linux box.
On that system I have the same ~/.inputrc file but instead of
~/.profile I am using ~/.bashrc:
export LANG="C"
export LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"
export LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"
All three users are using the bash shell.
The accented characters (ex: i) end up as question marks.
