Hello.

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.0 under linux and I can't get UTF-8 chars to display
correctly in the console (I'm getting ?? instead of the char I'm expecting).

I didn't see any option for that in the preferences. I tried using an
iso10646 font for the console text, but it didn't help.

Any hint? Thanks!

I believe you need to set the Console Encoding to UTF-8 on the Common tab of
your launch configuration.

Thanks for your help.

I tried it, but I still get 'unit?' instead of 'unité' (with an e-grave) in
the console.

Did you go Run =E2=86=92 Run=E2=80=A6 =E2=86=92 <choose configuration> =E2=
=86=92 Common =E2=86=92 Console encoding?

Works for me. If this doesn=E2=80=99t work, make sure you *are* outputti=
ng Unicode.

Unless you changed the encoding you shouldn't need to specify any option
since UTF-8 is the default under Linux. Just make sure that your font
can handle the special chars.

I tried with code2000 even though it's not proportional, but at least it is
UTF-8; an dnow I can see the accentuated characters.

Thanks all for your help !
