Set pbcopy to use UTF-8 by default
I've never seen this problem and I use pbpaste/pbcopy all the time. One clue as to what's going on is this statement I found: "__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING [is] a representation of your default text encoding, which is determined by the first language in the Languages list in the International preference panel."
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2002/Aug/msg01523.html On my system, I have English selected, and I assume that the original poster does as well, so I think that it may really have more to do with the fact that I have "US Extended" (which is Unicode, as opposed to "US", which is Roman) selected as my (only) Input Menu. I personally recommend US Extended anyway, it is very convenient for typing languages other than English that use the basic Roman alphabet with diacritics. Even if that's not an issue for you, if you are going to use Unicode in the Terminal, then you should consider it anyway. I'd be interested to hear if setting US Extended makes the problem of down-converted Unicode chars go away. Cheers, Greg Shenaut

Wow, I never looked that far down the languages list to see US Extended. Very good idea, thank you.

As far as I can tell, changing from US to US extended on the input menu only changed the way the keyboard acts and didn't affect any of my file handling. I am now extremely confused; have you done anything else to your system to make it extra Unicode compatible?

The fact that my login shell is /bin/ksh might be a factor, I don't know. I can't think of anything else.

Just curious: what does ksh give you that bash doesn't?

Although I would agree that using Unicode throughout would be a good idea, I'm not sure most people are aware of the issues involved with 'switching'. That is, trying to use a Unicode input method on existing documents already started with non-Unicode encoding. [Documents can't switch all the 'other' text automatically, even if everything is displayed 'correctly'.] |
