The default character encoding on LXTerminal (on Lubuntu 18.04) is UTF-8.
Can I change it to UTF-16 Little Endian?

@Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams I don't need it to fix a problem, I'm just learning about character encodings, and how to make the Terminal change its character encoding, etc.

First runlocale -aand see if that's even an option.

@Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams No UTF-16 is not an option onLXTerminal. But onKonsole, UTF-16 is also not an option in the result oflocale -a, but I can still set UTF-16 as the character encoding in theKonsolesettings.

Yes, because Konsole lets you explicitly set the encoding.
