When I try to input Russian text I get <ffffffff> instead of russian letters:

echo привет becomes this:

On the other hand if I try wsl in cmd.exe:

And if you paste it into wsltty:

Windows terminal is ok too:

Vim in wlstty has no issue with russian too:

Locale:

PS, I "remember" I had no issues entering russian text in some of the previous versions, but I am not sure :)

habamax commented 3 years ago

well :)

Locale=en_EN
Charset=UTF-8

in config file fixes the issue.

Looks like we need some documentation about locale.

Works here, also with Locale=ru_RU. Could be a zsh issue, have you tried another shell or simply cat?

bash was partially ok: some letters were "unprintable" and I could backspace the whole prompt for some reason.

And I have just checked locale -a: there is no ru_RU in my debian so this was the issue.

OK, thanks for feedback. You can create a locale. I noted somewhere how it works, it's tricky and poorly documented.
