I've reported http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829002



Sometime yesterday due to upgrades or something happening when my
computer mouse behaved randomly for a minute or so, I've lost the
display of unicode/utf-8 characters in konsole, instead seeing the
diamond with a question mark in it. If I try to use mozc to input
Japanese text, the result displays as plain question marks.



Any suggestions on where to look/what to try?


Copy and pasting random japanese characters seem to work fine here. Could you
please check if konsole is using Unicode? (Right click set encoding),


It had been set to "default". I thought that the default encoding 
inherited from KDE would be Unicode/utf-8?


When I set each tab's encoding to Unicode/utf-8 characters displayed 
correctly.



also the
output of:
set | egrep -a '^(LC_|LANG)'

Could be of use.


That gives me:

LANG=en_AU.UTF-8



Also, it might be worth testing a different font. Dejavu Sans Mono is probably
the most complete font available, so start with that one. Other fonts rely on
the fontconfig fallbacks to produce the characters that are not defined.

Happy hacking,



Thanks very much for the help and suggestions.

I've also replaced the PS/2 mouse with a USB mouse that identifies 
itself as:


Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c077 Logitech, Inc. M105 Optical Mouse

having discovered some error messages about loss of synchronisation with 
the PS/2 mouse.


I'll update the bug report in a few minutes.

Mmh, and that locale is being generated, right?

Using:
 grep -v '^#' /etc/locale.gen
Should tell you which locales are being generated. I would suggest to run:
 dpkg-reconfigure locales
as root, just to be sure that the locales are correctly generated.

About the default character encoding in konsole, when you edit a profile, in 
the advanced tab you can change the encoding to use for this profile, Default 
means "don't change the current value", so if you set it to latin1 and then 
back to Default it stays as latin1.

Happy hacking,

No, this are related to plugins being unloaded when they should not. Not a big 
issue, but should change in 5.7.
