[gentoo-user] character confusion

[Mark Knecht]

Hello,
   Here's a small config/usage question I've never managed to get
worked out in my brain. Why does Nautilus see a file name 'correctly'
while ls in a terminal does not?

Here's what I see in a terminal:

03 - Act I: Scene Two: II. Strange D??j?? Vu.ogg

Here's what I see in Nautilus:

03 - Act I: Scene Two: II. Strange Déjà Vu.ogg

   Is this just the nature of terminals or is there some config item I
should be doing differently?

   I'm almost sure that both are 'correct' but being displayed
differently, correct? the accented characters are really two bytes?

   One program that built a small database from the directory built this:

03 - Act I: Scene Two: II. Strange Déjà Vu.ogg

which I really do not understand!

   The real issue here is some programs find the music while others do
not which causes problems. I've fixed it in the past by removing
accent characters by hand but I'd rather not if possible.

Thanks,
Mark
