Display unicode in tmux?

This is urxvt without tmux

no tmux

This is urxvt with tmux and utf8 not enabled in the config

tmux with utf8 enabled

This is urxvt with tmux and utf8 enabled in the config

tmux with utf8 not enabled

How can I make tmux act consistent with the initial result?


Solution 1:

Would you please try the following and see if it helps?

  • rename .tmux.conf to something else
  • set LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

Clarification:

I have seen the existence of ~/.tmux.conf may cause problem so just for testing I suggested to rename the file. And forcing LANG=en_US.UTF-8 is another measure to ensure the correct locale to be used (since Hal didn't supply his LANG setting(s))
