Hi everyone, Is there a standard way to render historically non-printable UTF-8 characters that will work across all terminals? I am trying to modify a standard FreeBSD utility that may occasionally work with characters in other languages. On some terminals, specifically FreeBSD running in VirtualBox, I see question-marks rather than the expected character. I wonder if this is the proper way to display such non-printable characters or no? I am not the most versed in encoding standards, so pardon any mistakes I might have made. Thanks, -- Farhan Khan PGP Fingerprint: B28D 2726 E2BC A97E 3854 5ABE 9A9F 00BC D525 16EE
