First, your "NBSP" is actually http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/23b5/index.htm > Then run "mintty," and set its options by right clicking > in its title bar, selecting "Options" and then "Text." I just keep them clear. > On the Text page > set "Locale" to "en_US" and "Character set" to "UTF-8," and then > "Save." Now exit and restart mintty. Change directory to your desktop > and run the editor "vim" on the utf-8_test.sed file. Once inside vim do > a ":set fileencoding=utf-8". You should now see that vim displays > correctly a sample of one-, two-, and three-byte UTF-8 character > encodings in the test file. Vim fails, however, on the three-byte > encodings for the "en" dash, the "em" dash, and the ellipsis, each of > which displays incorrectly as a filled-in rectangle. Now exit vim and > do a "less" or "cat" on the utf-8_test.sed file. You should see most of > the sample UTF-8 encoded characters displayed correctly, except once > again for the en dash, em dash, and ellipsis. All displayed correctly. Lucida Console 11pt. > So it looks like a problem in the underlying Cygwin run-time libraries > rather than in vim, less, or cat. I haven't tested this on four-byte UTF-8 > character encodings, but assume Cygwin will have similar problems. I don't have a good console font for mb4, but I presume it will be displaed just fine. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, December 14, 2017 21:59:07 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
