 >>>>> I believe you. I did browse through docs before. I even looked in the kernel source. But there could also be a .config option to override that. There's no logic in liloconif adding vt.default_utf8=1 when a user enables utf-8, if there's no reason for it. Anyway you will find the similar advice on Dugan Chen's unicode article on his blog. So I would think this is somehow overriden. Or it's not enabled by default.  --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/19 10:07// >>>>> I believe you. I did browse through docs before.

 +I believe there is a small mistake / typo in this section where "unicode-start" and "unicode-stop" is documented. My Slackware installation (14.1) has "unicode_start" (underscore rather than hyphen) and "unicode_stop" as the installed commands. They work great - just as documented here.  --- //[[wiki:user:bogzab|bogzab]] 2014/12/09 15:12//

 >>>>>> Great. Thank you. Considering alternative input methods, I guess the admins will have the last word on that. I'm ok with both options, but personally think a localization article should be international enough. That, of course doesn't mean including individual methods or tips, but rather the general input methods like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Common_Input_Method|SCIM]]. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/19 10:14// >>>>>> Great.
