[SOLVED] Cannot see Turkish letters in any of my terminals.

dtpurde · 2020-08-23 17:46:41

So, I decided to re-install Arch with my bspwm configs. I set these configs up at holiday with a Manjaro laptop and everything worked there. But on my previous and recent Arch installs, I just couldn't see any Turkish letters in my Terminals. I can see them on other applications such as Code, Firefox or Rofi, but not Termite or Alacritty.
The output I get after writing down a single Turkish letter is: <ffffff><ffffff>
I have been using the same font (Hack Nerd Font) even on Manjaro and it worked there. Also, I tried out different fonts with Turkish letter support and they also failed to work with my Terminals. Am I missing a package I should install?

EDIT: Solved, localectl told my language was C, had to fix that by editing /etc/locale.conf

Sounds more like a bad locale.

a) what is a "turkish letter" (utf-8 codepoint, iirc Atatürk introduced the latin alphabet? is it just one of the funky ones like "ç, ğ" etc?)
b) screenshot
c) output of

localectl
locale
locale -a

a) Exactly
b) [Sorry for Imgur.](https://imgur.com/a/6oBmEox) The top picture is zsh, the one below is neovim and the last one is Cordless (I just realized something, this doesn't happen at all with bash, and is buggy with fish.)
c) I'm so sorry, but I'm new here and I couldn't manage to make a code block.

Thanks for the information. I have now solved this issue and I shall read the formatting page to help my future adventures in the Arch forums.

ftr, do you use OMZ as well?

Yep, with the Gentoo theme. (Because Bira was broken)
