Re: [PossibleSpam] UTF-8 chars

Seems I have no success...

Did a

export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8

and use

DejaVu Sans Mono Book 12

as xterm font.

Can enter, e.g. Σ with CTRL - SHIFT u 03a3 (or simply copy it in xterm).

For 1f512 , i.e. 🔒, still only a blank.

Anything else you specified maybe ?

I have xfce-terminal 1.1.1
