I maked a file containing "ırmak" with a text editor via encoding ISO8859-9. Then, I tried to print the content with "cat" command in the terminal. But I could not. I use the commands

 export LC_ALL=tr_TR.ISO8859-9
 export LANG=tr_TR.ISO8859-9
 cat    text.txt

After these commands the terminal printed:

 �rmak

Note: The for the command

 echo ırmak

the terminal prints:

 ırmak

  • Welcome to SU @user :) I'm curious, what does say file myfile and what's the output of locale ?

  • I do not know the meaning of the keyword locale. Could you explain?

    (1) "What's the output of locale" means "type locale in your shell, hit Enter and tell us what you got". After your export LC_ALL=… and export LANG=… there should be no surprises, so please check also locale -a to make sure tr_TR.ISO8859-9 is among locales available (generated) in your system. (2) When you run echo ırmak normally in a console, is the non-ASCII letter printed right? This test is to make sure the font you're using contains a proper glyph for the letter.

  • Thanks @KamilMaciorowski I wasn't enough clear, and the OP reply by editing the question and we can see there's a unapropriate font in use or still bad locales confs.

  • @KamilMaciorowski The echo command works because there is no encoding problem when I only use terminal. The problem is that I cannot set encoding of the terminal so that It reads my files correctly.
