UK Currency Symbol in 7.2 Console - A Question actually about FreeBSD

[bsd]

Hi,

I use a Macintosh as client host, but this could be any computer as  
long as you have a working keyboard configured.


My shell is bash (latest port version).

In my .bashrc I have included the following:

# Display quoted characters
stty cs8 -istrip -parenb
bind 'set convert-meta off'
bind 'set meta-flag on'
bind 'set output-meta on'


Furthermore I have configured emacs (my favorite editor) to also  
handle UTF8 character and encoding

In my .emacs:

(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
     (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
     (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)



This allows me to have all my characters encoded in UTF-8.


One more interesting thing is the prompt (more fancy than really  
usefull):

In .bashrc:

case "$TERM" in
xterm*|rxvt*)
PS1="\[\033[01;33;33m\]\h \w --> \[\033[00m\]"
PS2='\u:\w >'
;;
screen)
#PS1='\e[1;31m\u@\h:\e[1;37m\w\e[1;31m\$\e[0;37m '
PS1="\[\033[01;36;36m\]\h \t \w screen $ \[\033[00m\]"
;;
*)
PS1='\h:\w\$ '
;;
esac


And the history search, still in .bashrc:

bind '"\e[A"':history-search-backward
bind '"\e[B"':history-search-forward
