Now I know. The order in which you have to set LANG and LC_ALL is crucial to reproduce the issue. And the order in my recipe from the last mail is wrong: [...] > b) export LANG=de_DE (*not* POSIX) > export LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 [...] It actually has to be the other way around. So: b) export LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 export LANG=de_DE (*not* POSIX) ...or whatever language you like, just the UTF-8 locale in `LC_ALL' and the non-UTF-8 locale in `LANG'. Both locales should probably exist on your system. So check "locale -a" and update `/etc/locale.gen' and run `locale-gen' if needed. c) Type two multibyte characters, like `รถ' (o with diaeresis). d) Type backspace four time. e) See the cursor erase parts of your prompt. f) Rant about locales in your native tongue.
