   Hi Vitaliy,   
      
   On 2024-03-22 07:04:30, you wrote to me:

    VA> Looks like your luit doesn't support CP850 or you don't have en_US.CP850.   
    VA> There are some encodings which luit list, but doesn't support actually.   
   For   
    VA> example, mine lists CP866, but doesn't work with it.   
      
    VA> Does it present in `locale -a` output?   
      
   I don't know if that says much, because mostly there are just the xx_XX and   
   xx_XX.utf8 versions of the encodings. To give you a sample:   
      
   # locale -a | grep en_   
   en_AG   
   en_AU   
   en_AU.utf8   
   en_BE   
   en_BE.utf8   
   en_BE@euro   
   en_BW   
   en_BW.utf8   
   en_CA   
   en_CA.utf8   
   en_DK   
   en_DK.utf8   
   en_GB   
   en_GB.iso885915   
   en_GB.utf8   
   en_HK   
   en_HK.utf8   
   en_IE   
   en_IE.utf8   
   en_IE@euro   
   en_IN   
   en_NG   
   en_NZ   
   en_NZ.utf8   
   en_PH   
   en_PH.utf8   
   en_SG   
   en_SG.utf8   
   en_US   
   en_US.iso885915   
   en_US.utf8   
   en_ZA   
   en_ZA.utf8   
   en_ZM   
   en_ZW   
   en_ZW.utf8   
      
   Does this mean there is just an utf8 charset and an unspecified one for almost   
   every language-country? That doesn't seem logical!   
      
   Doesn't this show you what encodings luit supports:   
      
   # luit -list   
   Known locale encodings:   
      
     C: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1   
     POSIX: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1   
     US-ASCII: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1   
   ...   
     CP850: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: CP 850   
   ...   
      
   Known charsets (not all may be available):   
      
     ISO 646 (1973) (ISO 2022, 94 codes)   
     ASCII (ISO 2022, 94 codes)   
   ...   
     CP 437 (128 codes)   
     CP 850 (128 codes)   
     CP 852 (128 codes)   
   ...   
      
   So luit seems to know about CP850...   
      
      
    VA> Have you tried to run that script without luit? You don't even need to   
    VA> change locale for it - just encoding in terminal.   
      
   https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/574e349fadaf   
      
   So without luit it doesn't display anything useful. With luit, although you   
   get the warning, it does display the right characters for CP850 !?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
