Hi Gordon,
I'm not sure what terminal it is. How can I query that info. This was a
RH8 minimal install with a few custom added and deleted packages.

A much better solution is to simply tell your terminal emulator to use
the UTF-8 character set.

The problem is that a program can not reliably "detect" what encoding is
in use, whether it's a latin, or japanese, or UTF-8 encoding... That's
why RHL 8 is using UTF-8 by default: UTF-8 can display all of the
worlds character sets in one encoding.
