   Hi Vitaliy,   
      
   On 2024-03-22 09:38:52, I wrote to you:   
      
    WvV> I'm still seeing an issue with some messages in German areas. For   
    WvV> instance:   
      
    WvV> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/0cc6a7ecd695   
      
    WvV> Some characters are displayed as '~A', where they should be able to be   
    WvV> displayed in their right form, while others are displayed correctly.   
      
    WvV> The two High ascii characters in the marked area are:   
      
    WvV> \x81 ; latin small letter u with diaeresis   
    WvV> \xE1 ; greek small letter beta (here used as german ss)   
      
    WvV> The last character in the line, an 'e', isn't even displayed, probably   
   because   
    WvV> of the expansion of 1 of the characters to 2 characters.   
      
    WvV> These characters are the same in CP437 and CP850. So my CP850 terminal   
   should   
    WvV> display them correctly. It seems to come from Golded itself, or maybe the   
    WvV> ncurses library, because it doesn't matter if I use luit for starting   
   Golded   
    WvV> or not, or running it in my remote putty terminal, or my local konsole   
    WvV> terminal. The \x81 character is always displayed as ~A ... Strange!?   
      
   Btw: My terminal seems fine with displaying the CP850 high ascii characters   
   (despite the warning):

   Bye, Wilfred.
