Junk characters in Solaris 11
Hi,

It looks to me like your locale is hosed. Completely.

Code:
localeadm -a -d /path/to/cdrom

is a way to possibly rebuild your locale files, when the cdrom is the Solaris install disk.

If that fails, you get to undo the system configuration and rebuild it. Approach this with caution, you may just want to restore from tape.

Code:
sysconfig configure -s

Then reboot - this runs the tool that lets your rebuild locale and almost everything else.
I'll bet this is related to your timezone problem....

Not hosed, just French UTF8 :-)

Anyway, no need to reinstall or reconfigure everything, just set the expected locale.

This can be done for the current shell session:
Code:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
ls -l

or globally. Verify the current setting with:
Code:
svccfg -s svc:/system/environment:init listprop environment/LANG

and modify it that way:
Code:
svccfg -s svc:/system/environment:init setprop environment/LANG = astring: en_US.UTF-8
svcadm refresh svc:/system/environment
