On root prompt inside my TP-Link router I wrote eight Scandinavian letters ("öäöäöäöä") and deleted them. It looks like this:
root@OpenWrt:~#
root@Ope
The cursor is currently next to the 'e' in 'Ope'. For every single non-ASCII letter I write, I see one, but I get to delete two.
My aim is to have a normal user in my TP-Link and run a screen session. But I need UTF-8 support for console, screen and software running inside screen.
Is this at all possible?
Do I need to build OpenWrt by myself?
Or do I just need to install some packages and do some configuration?
Do I need bash?
Do I need a kernel NLS package, or are these just for SMB/CIFS and filesystem support?
I already have
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
as my 2nd row in /etc/profile but that doen't help.
Do you recommend I forget about running a normal user (although I already have one) or that I just use ASCII for everything?
