Re: Apostrophe

[Pascal DEVEAUX]

When I run `showconsolefont` on Archlinux, it shows four blocks of 64 characters, and

there U+2019 is shown as a ’ just fine.

Why nano don't show U+2019 ?

When you say "apostrophe", you mean U+2019, not U+0027, right?

(To check, run `nano --mini --constant` and type your "apostrophe".
Then move the cursor back onto the character, and check what it says
in the mini bar at the bottom.)

I can confirm that, on an up-to-date Manjaro, on a Linux console
the character U+2019 is displayed as ￭ instead of as ’.

When I run `showconsolefont` on Manjaro, it shows just four blocks
of 64 characters.  On my Mint install, it shows eight blocks, and
there U+2019 is shown as a ’ just fine.

So you need to configure a different font for the console.  How to
do that... I don't know.  Better refer to the Arch Linux docs:
