Hi, I am using Screen in a en_US.UTF-8 locale, inside an xterm. I am using the xterm standard escape sequence to set the window title. I have a the following problem: There is no problem with the Basic Latin (ASCII) characters (Unicode < 0+007F), but also with Latin1 Supplement characters (U+0080 <= Unicode < U+00FF), are displayed OK. However, other characters are displayed incorrectly: for example, the command
echo '\e]0;αβγ\a\c'
in a normal Xterm shows the title
αβγ
but in screen version 4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06 (from the CVS) show the title
±²³
Comparing Unicode, it replaces U+03B1 GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA with U+00B1 PLUS-MINUS SIGN and so on, i.e, the Unicode values seem to be taken modulo U+0100.
Cheers,
Zvi. -- Dr. Zvi Har'El mailto:address@hidden Department of Mathematics tel:+972-54-4227607 icq:179294841 Technion - Israel Institute of Technology fax:+972-4-8293388 http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/ Haifa 32000, ISRAEL "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." -- Thumper (1942 |
