Works like a charm, great answer!

Hi , this config can not fix my question

i try to do this, but can not success.

• add command to /etc/environment
• add LC_ALL&LANG to ~/.zshrc
• add SendEnv to /etc/ssh/ssh_config

At last, I find the question, it is because iTerm2, config profile/terminal/envionment => disableSet lcoale variables automatically

Same iTerm2 issue, thanks!

This works like a charm!

Create locale file manually:

localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

Thanks

• add SendEnv to /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Please what do we mean exactly by SendEnv?

hello
I have tried the tow options and did not work for me, can you advise.

If you got LC_CTYPE error, try adding this.

LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

Just place this in your /etc/environment file:

LANG="en_US.utf-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.utf-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

Then run:

sudo localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

Just place this in your /etc/environment file:

LANG="en_US.utf-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.utf-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

Then run:

sudo localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

It works!!!
