UTF-8 problem?

Here I am comparing mirc under wine with irssi under screen (looks the same outside of screen also)

I use dejavu sans mono in both urxvt and mirc. I can't seem to pinpoint why urxvt wont display those characters. I have tried thishttp://www.iovene.com/the-ultimate-guid … gnuscreen/ but it didn't seem to help.

Output of locale

LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Any suggestions?

Re: UTF-8 problem?

Hi justin,
check if in /etc/locale.gen there is this line:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

without # in front of it, and then run as root

locale-gen

You must log out and log in again
