special character support in Terminal.app

[dr_gonzo]

hello,

for some reason, i can't type special characters like í or even € in Terminal.app but when i'm sshed into a server in college, the special characters appear, no problems. is there a way of turning on extra character support in the terminal for all the time?

Just escape the characters: put a \ before them, as in \" or \@ etc.

this is what gets displayed when i try to enter the € symbol by typing alt-2: \342\202\254

escaping the character does nothing. it's not a major issue i suppose but it's a tad annoying all the same...

Open Terminal, go to Edit > Special charachters.
If you choose the euro symbol from there, does it still show incorrectly at server?

locally, it just prints out \342\202\254 but when i'm logged in to to the server, the euro symbol appears correctly.
