latin1 '' # 8-bit with nonprintable 128-159, we assume latin1Ĥ) locale_search. Thus a width of 2 means UTF-8 (or some other multibyte encoding, which is not likely for me), a width of 3 means latin-N (with no way to know N), and 4 means some single-byte encoding with printable characters in the range 128–159. widthof -1 displays a 4-byte string which represents 2 characters in UTF-8, and in which only 3 bytes are printable latin-N characters. In my shell startup, I set LC_CTYPE in this way, using a script widthof which I posted in Get the display width of a string of characters. Ill walk you thru it, using Manjaro ARM like you have on the PineBook Pro: First lets handle dependancies.

SyncTerm is IMO the better software and is easier to get compiled on ARM computers.
But if for you the only two likely possibilities are UTF-8 and one legacy encoding, that works well. At any rate youll need an ANSI-BBS compatible terminal software like SyncTerm or Netrunner. This won't help you in all cases, for example it can't distinguish between single-byte encodings. Display a byte string that has a different width in different encodings, and find out by how much it makes the cursor move. If you have some idea of which character encodings are likely, you may be able to determine the encoding via heuristics. (Other environment variables may convey the locale settings, see What should I set my locale to and what are the implications of doing so? for details.) Unfortunately, in practice, checking LC_CTYPE is not always reliable: it may be unset or wrong. End Environment-Begin OPTIONS List- > The following configuration options are available for syncterm-03201: DEBUGoff: Build with. If the terminal emulator is well-designed and configured appropriately, it will ensure that the value of the environment variable LC_CTYPE is set to a value that is consistent with its encoding.
