Description of problem: Character ' is always reproduced as â. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man, version 1.5m How reproducible: It is always reproducible if man page contains character ' Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute: man xpdf 2. Search for â alias ' Actual results: Character ' is reproduced as â Expected results: Character ' must be reproduces as ' Additional info: I have added into: <my_home_folder>/.bash_profile lines: LANG=$LANG:sr.UTF-8 LANG=$LANG:si.UTF-8 export LANG in order to make it possible writing Serbian letters in Open Office. I am not sure wether that has affected man in any way or not. Other applications are not affected. Anyway, I must add lines if I want to use Open Office, and man pages can be read even some characters are wrong reproduced.
I'm not seeing ' get turned into â, but I am seeing ' get corrupted in other ways with your LANG changes. Without them (i.e. LANG=en_US.UTF-8) I do not have the problem. BTW, what kind of terminal or terminal emulator are you using?
Created attachment 104925 [details] the output for the "man man" command.
Created attachment 104929 [details] "man man" command output for LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 Why should the ' character be converted ? I suppose it should keep the same one-character in the utf-8.
The Comment #2 was LANG=zh_TW.Big5 and I used gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2
The problem is related to konsole, that is to KDE terminal emulator. If gnome-terminal is being used, no problem exists. It is important that gnome-terminal is adjust to Unicode encoding.
When both current konsole and gnome-terminal are in proper UTF-8 mode, as well as the locale, the quote renders correctly.
