Step 1. Switch the running Konsole to UTF-8 mode.
On Debian, that can be done by running "konsole-utf8 on" from inside the
shell (that'll need to be done for every shell you run, so you might as
well put it in your shell's startup file).
Other distros might've placed this file under a different name ("rpm -ql
konsole | grep bin" might give you a clue about the installed Konsole
utilities).
Step 2. If the target app (e.g. sendsms) excepts ISO-8858-8 (Logical)
encoded text, use something like:
iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-8 | sendsms ...
Typing Hebrew should be as usual (no question marks, but no BiDi either
- Konsole is not a BiDi console).
