Public bug reported:
When using GNOME Terminal in Hardy, the Unicode display and input is
broken. Some characters (e.g., «, », ©, ®, ™, and others) are
transliterated, and others still (é, á, í, ö, and more accented letters)
simply show up as "?". ß shows up as ss, and so forth. This is
horribly broken, /especially/ when I am entering a unicode code point
and expect a UTF-8 output and instead get an ASCII transliteration.
These may very well be valid transliterations, but they are *not*
desired; if I wanted to use transliterations of Unicode characters, I
would type those in instead!
Along the same lines, man pages no longer display correctly unless I
invoke man with a modified environment:
LC_ALL=C man ls
works fine, but
man ls
The latter does not show apostrophes, some hyphens, quotation marks, and
other UTF-8 encoded characters.
