I'm attempting to connect to my Arch server running tmux from my work Windows PC. I've found that while Console2 does a decent job with most things, it's not perfect, and I get all sorts of graphical glitches (fault of my semi-complex configurations).I'd like to use rxvt to keep things simple (I'd rather not have the overhead of an X server for rxvt-unicode). However, when I split windows in tmux, the borders appear as a set of garbage bytes that are represented as . Is it possible to have a regular border when using tmux and rxvt (non-unicode)? Thanks!
Tmux border split in rxvt
ssh;windows;tmux;unicode;rxvt
I can't explain , I would have expected  which is the Windows-1252 interpretation of the bytes that encode  in UTF-8.  is what Tmux uses for vertical borders between windows. But you evidently have an encoding mismatch.Run locale to see what your locale settings are. The Windows native port of Rxvt in Cygwin doesn't support UTF-8, so you need to set an 8-bit locale. Specifically, the LC_CTYPE category must not end in utf8 (or utf-8 or UTF8 or UTF-8).The real solution is to use MinTTY (it's shipped with Cygwin) or PuTTYcyg. Both are derived from PuTTY and support UTF-8. See also How do you configure a Windows machine for a Linux user?
