urxvt doesn't show some words

hmet_ust · 2021-08-21 13:04:59

I cannot write some turkish words like ş, ç, ğ, İ, ı
When i click these words from my keyboard, nothing appeared.
I can write them in web browser. For example, when i try to copy aaağşwğğŞĞPPIELŞİÇx from web browser to urxvt, my console outputs

~ $
~ $ aaa??w????PPIEL?İ?x
bash: $'aaa\304\237\305\237w\304\237\304\237\305\236\304\236PPIEL\305\236\304\260\303\207x': command not found
~ $

Fix your locale, "C" is ASCII and cannot handle UTF-8 input (your browser ignores the locale or picks it from the webpage anyway)

Sanity-check:

fc-match monospace

Sorry for late response. I tried it and it worked. But i want my programs use English language. I have tried these;

/etc/locale.conf
LANG=tr_TR.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8

 ~ $ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=tr_TR.utf8
                  LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: trq
      X11 Layout: n/a
 ~ $

but

 ~ $ locale
LANG=tr_TR.utf8
LC_CTYPE="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_TIME="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_PAPER="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_NAME="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="tr_TR.utf8"
LC_ALL=
 ~ $

Programs still use turkish. What should i do?

EDIT: i rebooted. Even bash started to use turkish..

LC_MESSAGES is overwritten by something™
Make sure you've the english locales generated ("locale -a") and then you need to figure what something™ is, typically some shell rc (profile, bashrc) or your desktop environment (?) just reads LANG and then flattens the place.
