Changed language, now terminal isn't working right
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
- Everything was working fine. I could connect into the system with PuTTY, and everything would display correctly.
- I changed the language from English to Spanish using some GUI tool.
- I changed the language back to English again (i.e., everything should now be back to how it was).
- Various terminal programs no longer use the Unicode box-drawing characters any more.
lsblknow uses the verticle-pipe and backtick characters.htopdoes likewise.tmuxuses rows ofxcharacters (alsoqand a few others).- Problem appears both with and without
tmuxrunning.
- Output from
localelooks the same as before. - PuTTY has apparently set
TERM=xterm, which has what it was before.
I'm really not sure what other settings would affect terminal rendering... but this is really driving me nuts!

Well, I thought the locale was still set the same... but it wasn't.
It turns out previously the locale was en_GB.utf8, whereas now it's just en_GB.
Setting this to the correct value outside of tmux seems to make everything behave correctly again.
A quirk is that for this to take effect inside tmux, it appears you have to exit all sessions, set the environment variable, and then start tmux again. Presumably the server itself is caching the value or something...
