How to get terminal's Character Encoding
Now I change my gnome-terminal's character encoding to "GBK" (default it is UTF-8), but how can I get the value(character encoding) in my Linux?
Solution 1:
The terminal uses environment variables to determine which character set to use, therefore you can determine it by looking at those variables:
echo $LC_CTYPE
or
echo $LANG
Solution 2:
locale command with no arguments will print the values of all of the relevant environment variables except for LANGUAGE.
For current encoding:
locale charmap
For available locales:
locale -a
For available encodings:
locale -m
