OS X Terminal UTF-8 issues

May 5, 2023 by Tarik

For me, this helped:
I checked locale on my local shell in terminal

$ locale
LANG="cs_CZ.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="cs_CZ.UTF-8"

Then connected to any remote host I am using via ssh and edited file /etc/profile as root – at the end I added line:

export LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8

After next connection it works fine in bash, ls and nano.
