For example, many info pages contain glyphs like 0xe2 0x80 0x98 "LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK" (U+2018) , 0xe2 0x80 0x99 "RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK" (U+2019) etc, and they are presented as garbage even in UTF-8 terminals like Mate Terminal or PuTTY. I've created a bug report: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240553 let's see what comes out of it. --=20 Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/ --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJde1blAAoJEA2k8lmbXsY0KbIH/0qZPdcK16VPhGrvXw79O1yw iZr05MJQ54afZ9lCG6N6AICs8fon+yMhC13CpODY5n2PlBN3m1TMFVM9Lm+Opzi3 ccVtNF6vG4FnLfPxuMOAHONpTHnQmGTra0tJbaOYniRLzQdUEivxf8JM19yajxEa 37+ybmS5Robv18UM9+tLDLU3jkJLQ0FJwhY3Z9sJxsVCW2ztzz60BxLIN9rYdH62 W6jgFyc0bxMcC2ed9Um9IK4WNYJTnl0yG74XwHoxZ27t6O1SaxaUiOluEF+kLkei mGPUvk88avwbyfIxOjmRKCe9DZfpN7NEDVggueuARemB5MPjjQ/pt48PYQr6wGI= =mQc7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu--
