[joe] UTF-8

[<ja...@av...>]

I'm working on UTF-8 support.  On a correctly set up UTF-8 enabled linux box
(running JOE in a UTF-8 xterm for example), do you get UTF-8 encoded
characters from the keyboard (I hope...)?  Or do you get the old latin1
characters in the 160 - 255 range as single characters, which I then have to
translate to UTF-8 (yuck)?

If you type 'cat' and start entering characters from the local character
set, do they echo back to you on the screen in a UTF-8 xterm?  How about the
linux console screen?

I'm hoping it's all UTF-8: then cut and paste will even work.  Otherwise
it's a big mess.

Sorry about this basic question: everything here is english and I have no
experience running linux in a different language.

[I'll probably check in the first go at UTF-8 level 1 support tomorrow].
