[lcd4linux] Non-ascii chars

[Marcel <ta...@gm...>]

Hello,

I just found out that my usb display works using the kernel driver (and not 
libusb) and now have a shiny new lcd4linux config - thanks to Michael and 
whoever contributed to the wiki!
But I've got one question so far: how may I make lcd4linux/my display display 
non-ascii chars? It's really ugly having two whitespaces wherever some german 
umlauts or french/spanish chars with accents should appear...

There are two possible solutions to your problem:

- the iconv plugin (documented in the wiki)

- the \octal notation if you want to add some fixed ASCII codes to the
display (eg the degree symbol)

HTH, Michael
