==== Encoding ==== If accented and international characters fail to show properly, use a terminal program that has support for Unicode (such as [[xterm|uxterm]]) and set the assumed and display character sets to UTF-8 or greater in Lynx options. Nevertheless, article content with any special characters — including non-standard Latin, Cyrillic, or other non-Latin languages — are seen in Lynx textareas in the UTF-8 <CODE>&#xXX;</CODE> format, which in that form are sent to text editors and then back. Beware that these UTF-8 glyph representations are not treated as one character, but as six (ΓΆ = <CODE>&#xF6;</CODE>), and these add to the 1023-character line limit. Such behaviour is a hindrance to editing non-Latin texts, and even Latin texts that are written in languages that may feature extensive amounts of accented characters.<BR> See [[#Dealing with special characters]] for more.
