Character set problem
Hi,
I'm trying to edit a file with vi, but all special characters (áéíóú etc) don't seem to show correctly. They don't seem to be supported by the OS (SunOS 5.10).
I'm using MobaXterm as the terminal emulator, which is configured to use ISO-8859-1. The same charset is used on Solaris.
If I open a local shell, I am able to use these characters.
Can anyone tell me why this is, and how I can get it to work?
Thanks
