Comments on: How To Display UTF8 in your Putty Bash Shell http://planetozh.com/blog/2007/08/how-to-display-utf8-in-your-putty-bash-shell/?source=rss A bit of my personal life, mainly focused on my kids. A bit of code, mainly focused on Wordpress and PHP. Overall, bits of nothing in particular.

The PuTTY setting configures how your client handles data coming from the server. Presumably both your client and the server you are accessing would have to be configured to talk UTF-8 (or some other character set that supports wide characters, as long as they are configured to use the same one). My Debian Etch install with bash appears to handle UTF-8 by default; all I had to do was change the PuTTY configuration to deal with it properly. I would expect that older linux versions, some other distributions, or other shells might have different default configurations.

The first time I'd want to use UTF-8, but I experience a weird thing: 1.) if I set in the Options Translation to "UTF-8", everything gets correctly displayed, but I cannot input any characters beyond U+7F (traditional ASCII, not even Latin-1!!!). (whenever I press a key which has a para-ASCII number assigned, nothing gets sent to the PuTTY terminal. Nothing at all). 2.) if I use the above described method (echo -ne '\e%G\e[?47h\e%G\e[?47l'), I get the same display and I CAN input any unicode number, which is however incorrectly translated to the terminal. So I'm stuck, actually neither 1), nor 2) helps. I'd love to hear some tips how to get PuTTY via the Translation-> UTF-8 working... Hm,

I have been using PuTTY for years.
The first time I’d want to use UTF-8, but I experience a weird thing:

1.) if I set in the Options Translation to “UTF-8″, everything gets correctly displayed, but I cannot input any characters beyond U+7F (traditional ASCII, not even Latin-1!!!). (whenever I press a key which has a para-ASCII number assigned, nothing gets sent to the PuTTY terminal. Nothing at all).

2.) if I use the above described method (echo -ne ‘\e%G\e[?47h\e%G\e[?47l’), I get the same display and I CAN input any unicode number, which is however incorrectly translated to the terminal.

So I’m stuck, actually neither 1), nor 2) helps.

I’d love to hear some tips how to get PuTTY via the Translation-> UTF-8 working…

After this all received data will be interpreted as UTF-8 and displayed correctly.
