luit-20250912
filter to convert between UTF-8 and other locales
Back to search · Project homepage
Description
Luit is a filter that can be run between an arbitrary application and
a UTF-8 terminal emulator. It will convert application output from the
locale's encoding into UTF-8, and convert terminal input from UTF-8 into
the locale's encoding.
Note that luit(1) support is not present in xterm(1) on OpenBSD, so this
is only useful in special cases - e.g. as a wrapper for telnet(1) or
an SSH client when connecting to systems without UTF-8 support.
