I'm having some trouble with displaying UTF-8 characters correctly on bash. I was trying to extract some zipped files that contained accented characters in their names, and I was getting the invalid multibyte characters error. I created a .bash_profile with this:export LANG=en_US.UTF-8export LOCALE=UTF-8This solved the extraction problem. But the console still doesn't show the accented characters correctly. Konqueror has no problem with the accented characters. What do I have to do?
How to change bash console font to display UTF-8 characters
bash;unicode
Gnu Unifont has the widest unicode support. See What fonts are good for unicode glyphs.Changing the console font (ie., outside X) can be done with the setfont command. Which takes the form: setfont /path/to/font, eg:setfont /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/$fontThere is more information on the Arch Wiki:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Console_fontsOnce you have selected your preferred font, setting the console font permanently will depend on your distribution. For example, in Ubuntu/Debian, it is:sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
