Linux is pretty flexible (unlike another OS I know).
In general same goes for most all Linux terminals.
My recommendation is that you do "man locale" and see if that is enough to get things going.
Obviously, changing a code page has to be a collaboration of terminal capabilities and fonts and such. But again, in Linux, things usually work and do just about everything you want. With that said, programs (possibly including the terminal program) tend to make a lot of assumptions....

Hi,
How can I find out the charset on a Unix server (SUNOS 5.2)? I tried locale charmap and returned 646. What does 646 mean? If I send an xml file with encoding="utf-8", should the server be able to handle the file, even with special characters in it?
Thanks. (0 Replies)

TTYTYPE(5) Linux Programmer's Manual TTYTYPE(5)
NAME
ttytype - terminal device to default terminal type mapping
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/ttytype file associates termcap/terminfo terminal type names with tty lines. Each line consists of a terminal type, followed by
whitespace, followed by a tty name (a device name without the /dev/) prefix.
This association is used by the program tset(1) to set the environment variable TERM to the default terminal name for the user's current
tty.
This facility was designed for a traditional time-sharing environment featuring character-cell terminals hardwired to a Unix minicomputer.
It is little used on modern workstation and personal Unixes.
FILES
/etc/ttytype
the tty definitions file.
EXAMPLE
A typical /etc/ttytype is:
con80x25 tty1
vt320 ttys0
SEE ALSO
termcap(5), terminfo(5), agetty(8), mingetty(8)
