I am working with some sources that contain "international"
characters used in languages other than english,
(typically french)
Vi interprets sources from unix with accents like é and è
strangely. Windiff and windows programs like notepad
see the same sources from unix with no problem.
What is happening? Is there a setting in bash or vi
that I need to make, keyboard or locale etc?
If so how do I do that? Anybody know?
PS. é in expérience, shows up as expÃrience
è in interprète, shows up as interprÃte
here are few other examples:
Avez-vous dÃjà travaillà en tant qu'interprÃte
Quelle expÃrience professionnelle d'interprÃte avez-vous
PrÃcisez le nombre de jours d'interprÃtation prestÃs.
Avez-vous dÃjà participà à un test professionnel ou à un concours
SÃjours importants à l'Ãtranger ? Indiquez les pays visitÃs, l'annÃe
Bash won't even respond to the keyboard character é (under 2 as lower case).
Just beeps (belgian keyboard setting).
