Vi on my 10.2.8 box displays international characters in double-wide hex rather than as the standard Roman characters with diacritics that I expect.
That is, the characters "é ç and ü" (if you can't read those, they are e-acute, c-cedilla and u-umlaut) would be displayed in vi as:
\xc3\xa9 \xc3\xa7 \xc3\xbc
Other applications don't mess with my mind like this: pico and the shell command line display the accented characters as expected.
My Terminal window settings are what the tutorials all recommend:
Display->Encoding is Unicode (UTF-8)
Emulation->"Escape 8-bit chars with Ctrl-V" is checked
This is driving me crazy! Am I missing some way to tell vi that I'm using Unicode?
