ncurses uses the terminal description for the narrow interface, arguably because even if it "knows" what the Unicode values are, the developer may intend a different mapping than ncurses' built-in table.But I don't intend to use different mapping ;-) For me, arrow characters are significant e.g. in menus or combo-boxes. So the only way how to make ncurses app display arrows in xterm is to link against wide version of libncurses (ncursesw) and use corresponding WACS's ?
Assuming that you're using a UTF-8 locale, that's the only way to make it work. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
