My locale is pretty boring: $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= and as shown in the attached screenshot, using printf to write that [esc] character to the screen displays fine (it displays as expected). However, when I view it in lynx, it shows nothing (as captured in the second screenshot) If I force the display charset using lynx --display_charset=utf-8 delme.html it does render the character as you describe. So I think you've tracked where the breakdown is happening. Is there some environment variable I've missed to inform lynx that this particular terminal is UTF8 aware? What does lynx use to determine terminal utf8'ness if it's not explicitly specified on with --display_charset? Thanks! -tkc
