Can depend on more then one thing. What I know is that
1: it could depend on your language settings (iso vs utf for instance).

Meaning the choice when I built the kernel or something else?
Currently this is chosen, but I don't know if this makes sense:

/etc/conf.d/keymaps
/etc/conf.d/consolefont
/etc/env.d/02locale  (check what you have with: locale)
probably the USE flag "unicode"
and


(iso8859-1) Default NLS Option

I think this specifies what encoding your filenames will have.

2: it can depend on the terminal you use (is it unicode aware?).


gnome-terminal mostly. I'll check some others.

What I've heard xterm is about the only terminal that is compatible with all standards.

3: it could probably depend on your font settings.


yeah, there's a Linux mystery if I ever met one... ;-)

Don't I know it :)

4: Some other things I don't know about.


You're far better then I. Thanks!

Don't be too sure...

Btw there are some great docs on www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ regarding unicode and localizing a system.
