I usually change it to UTF-8 but on occasion I use fish on a stock system. FreeBSD has been working on moving to UTF-8 but there were problems with some non-latin alphabets. While UTF-8 is pretty standard on Linux systems now it is not yet the default across all unix-like systems. I would not recommend the change yet, but I will live with whatever the devs decide, I like fish too much to grumble about changing my locale. Cheers, Ike
