iterm - Scandinavian characters in tmux -

# .tmux.conf set -g status-utf8 on setw -g utf8 on

yet, still when come in scandinavian charaters æ, ø , å in terminal window, next output:

<00c3><00a6><00c3><00b8><00c3><00a5>

i'm using iterm2 terminal, , characters printed correctly outside of tmux.

are using zsh? able produce result (inside , outside tmux) setting lc_ctype en_us.us-ascii while sending utf-8 (i.e. lying zsh (and other locale-sensitive programs) character set expect).

check lc_all, lc_ctype, and/or lang have appropriate values within tmux session; want utilize consistent value ends .utf-8. can utilize locale view active values , locale -a list available values.

you may need reset errant variable(s) in tmux global and/or sessions environments (so new sessions/windows/panes not maintain getting bad values). can inspect tmux global environment with

tmux show-environment -g | grep -e 'lc|lang'

adjust values (e.g.) tmux set-environment -g lang "$your_value".

each session can override environment variables (for new windows , panes created in session). can inspect session’s environment with

tmux show-environment -t "$session_name" | grep -e 'lc|lang'

you can unset session environment values (e.g.) tmux set-environment -t "$session_name" -u lang (so global value used new windows/panes), or adjust session values tmux set-environment -t "$session_name" lang "$your_value".

or, if not have of import sessions, restart tmux server set of known-good locale environment variable values.
