terminal + ssh doesn’t display UTF correctly – Ask Ubuntu

Jovan Stosic February 2, 2019

I have a remote server, to which I connect via SSH.

On separate Mac OS and Gentoo computers, when I connect to this server, unicode works fine. On my brand new Ubuntu installation, I don’t see unicode on this server correctly and I can’t seem to insert them correctly either.

I have a file with a letter “ž”. When I less it locally, on Ubuntu, in Terminal, I see correct “ž”. When I less the same file on the aforementioned server via SSH, I see just – both in Terminal and xterm.

locale on the server shows me this

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_NUMERIC=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_TIME=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_MONETARY=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_PAPER=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_NAME=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

Terminal has UTF8 encoding (and as I wrote, the unicode file is opened correctly when opened locally).

What can be wrong?
ssh gnome-terminal unicode

This answer to a similar question helped

Commenting out SendEnv LANG LC_* in the local /etc/ssh/ssh_config file fixed everything.

ssh through second network card using PUTTY – Google Groups

Jovan Stosic January 25, 2019
Hi,I am using Putty and want to open a ssh using a second network card,

I can find no settings whereby the second card can be selected.

I have the following settings
Running Win7
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.170
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.5
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.1

Is there something that I am missing.

Another option would be to use telnet session, but I can also find no way of
forcing the telnet to go through the second card.

Thanks in advance

    AFAIK there is no way  in putty you can select  an  interface before opening
a SSH connection. One way to do this is to change the network interface “metric”
value. Just increase the “interface 1” metric value and W2K will start using the
interface 2 for all the network activity.

To change the metric do the following

Right click on the “My Network Places” -> right click on  the “Local Area
Connection” -> select properties ->select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) ->select
properties-> click on advanced and change value of interface metric to “2”.
Click on “OK” .

Now putty (in fact all the apps) should start using the second interface for all the new connections.
