Just a thought, you might also try setting your chatset back to
iso-8859-1, and playing with your lang settings in your shell config
file. For instance, I have in ~/.bash_profile (Linux/Debian):
LANGUAGE=es:en
LC_ALL=es_ES
LANG=spanish
MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1
export LANGUAGE LC_ALL LANG MM_CHARSET
Since `es' is for Spanish, you might as well try:
LANGUAGE=en:es
well, you might try other languages, but Spanish is the second widest
spoken in the US ;-)
Then, if you want to be able to type «weird» characters, you can
implement them in your keyboard configuration file. In my system it's
/etc/kbd/default.map (used to be default.map.gz ... at least in a prior
release). I have the following "last" two lines:
keycode 86 = less greater
alt keycode 86 = Meta_less
altgr keycode 86 = guillemotleft
control altgr keycode 86 = guillemotright
which gives me « whenever I press AltGr+< or » when press Ctrl+AltGr+>
Then, there's a keyname for every character, like +ntilde or +Ntilde for
the Spanish n or N with tilde, +ccedilla or +Ccedilla for broken c or C, and
so forth for diaeresis (umlauten), accents, German eszet (schaffles s?), open
interrogation, open exclamation, Scandinavian Ogham (or whatever the crossed
o/O is called), and so forth.
Apart from that, the `showkey' (then press whatever key you wish to know
the code for) will give you the keycode number.
Kind Regards
