I have a Ubuntu system on which current locale is(output of locale command):
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I want to change it to en_GB, because some characters are not handled properly on the terminal display.
What is the command to change the locale?
What is the command to see what different locales are available on current system for me to set/try?
IMO, switching away from UTF-8 is never a solution. I've had my last name mangled one time too many. – user1686 – 2011-07-28T17:47:33.037
What terminal are you using? most of the X11 terminal emulators support utf-8, and utf-8 is the new unix standard. – ctrl-alt-delor – 2014-01-08T15:19:50.163
