So my CP850        WvV>> terminal should display them correctly.

The        WvV>> \x81 character is always displayed as ~A ... Strange!?               WvV> Btw: My terminal seems fine with displaying the CP850 high ascii        WvV> characters (despite the warning):               WvV> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/8bcb9d2ecfdf              Looks like your luit doesn't support CP850 or you don't have en_US.CP850.       There are some encodings which luit list, but doesn't support actually. For       example, mine lists CP866, but doesn't work with it.              Does it present in `locale -a` output?              Have you tried to run that script without luit? You don't even need to change       locale for it - just encoding in terminal.              Vitaliy              ... 640K ought to be enough for anybody       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20240305-beta        * Origin: Aurora, Colorado (1:104/117)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 18/200 50/109 90/1 104/117 105/81 106/201 128/260 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/225 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 266/512 280/464 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 291/111 292/854 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/16 58 256 1124 5858 463/68 467/888 633/280 712/848 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5000/111 5001/100 5005/49 5015/46 5020/828 846 1042 4441       SEEN-BY: 5030/49 5054/8 30 5061/133 5075/128 5083/444 5090/958       PATH: 104/117 5020/1042 460/58 229/426           |
