weird encoding issues in htop
I just installed a stock Debian 7 image and from the looks of it, I can see that en_US.UTF-8 is the default language/character set.
My putty session is also set to UTF8 in "Translation" option menu. But when I run htop I see some weird characters as shown in this screenshot:

What are those [?] characters, Is there anyway to get rid of them?
What's the output of
locale -a
? Regenerating them might help, try:sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
hey @asb
locale -a
outputs:and doing
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
brings up a ncurses window to choose which locale I want to enable.en_US.utf8
is already selected. After choosing it as default locale, it prints out:Unfortunately, it does not fix those weird questions marks in htop.
