It *is* a single character (you'll note that, like an embedded ^T, it takes up a single character advance position when cursoring over it). If you are asking "can I type one in a search string" the answer is "it depends on what you are using to do your input". You can use a ^V followed by the character itself. The question is whether you can get one out of your keyboard or not. I think you can do "the DOS thing" on at least one of the console drivers ...that is, you can hold down the alt key and enter the character as a decimal value on the keypad. The only problem after that is converting 0xc4 to decimal. 8^). > Alternatively, does anyone know how I could display the file with the > character set that would be appropriate to the file, so I could see the > snazzy graphics stuff? Or maybe print it? I've a postscript printer... Well, if you are using X, there are several "PC" character sets available, but I don't think they are shipped by anyone by default. If you started an xterm and you were 8-bit clean otherwise, and you displayed the file to the screen, then it would display like on a PC.
