Hi !
I need to know how to display special characters on the terminal and save them in file. (manually or through a process). (characters like ß, ö,ü and ä - a Umlaut)
On my SunOS 5.8 environment, default shell ksh, term vt100,
LANG set to null. I played with LANG settings but could with no success.
I can't type in ß or ä ö ü in vi nor could write those characters using a Java program.
Don't know where to start. Is it "locale" problem? Is it TERM problem? Character map problem?
Any pointers will be useful.
Thanks,
Bharix.
