Mix ANSI colors, screen and encodings in Terminal
Authored by: astack on Aug 27, '04 04:52:49PM

Okay, thanks, this is interesting. When I set the environmental variable to say, fr_FR.UTF-8, ls -la now shows the months that the file was created in French (with appropriate accents on the characters), but my filenames with accented characters still don't appear properly. It doesn't matter if I create the file from the gui (aqua) or I do it from the command line, the accents appear as e??i??, etc.

Oh duh. Type "ls -v" to properly render accented characters.
