PROTIP: most distros are already UTF-8 compliant, maybe you just need to install some shit

You, sir, fail at life and especially at computer. Please commence becoming an hero post haste. Good day to you sir.

i'm using freebsd but i basically want to know what terminals support utf-8 or whatever it's called, you see i'm not big on the terminology, i've used freebsd for so long without having to make this change but lately i've been using an all terminal environment where i paste between terminals a lot and my local 8-bit characters don't get copied

i know they don't get copied because i've checked xclip, it's not that they don't get pasted because i can paste them from apps like opera

i'm installing urxvt, because i use rxvt normally and it's for unicode but unicode scares and confuses me because i tried screen -US cat cat and typed some 8-bit characters they came out as nonsense

CTRL-C CTRL-V.
OH WAIT DISREGARD THAT YOUR USING GNAA/LUNIX

ok urxvt helped with copying 8-bit chars but in urxvt some things are kinda weird, some regular characters display weird

i'm using the 6x12 font that i used for rxvt, do i need to use some other font for unicode?

also should i set my LANG to the UTF-8 version? because right now it's the ISO version of my locale

i got it working with some font, thanks for the tip about unicode, i had no idea what it was called, just naming unicode helped me solve it

Glad I could help.
