There seems to be something weird in the way your terminal represents
characters. What does bash answer to
echo -e '\0351'
? Mine replies with a reverse-video question mark because my terminal is
in UTF-8; if yours is in Latin1 the reply ought to be é, but if it is 'e
it shows that the terminal interprets é -> 'e after bash outputs it. (In
a UTF-8 terminal, to get é you need echo -e '\xC3\xA9' but then your
LC_CTYPE [or your LC_ALL, which overrides all other locale settings]
should be pt_PT.utf8 .)
To see all possible Portuguese locales, use
locale -a |grep ^pt
On my system, the answer is
pt_BR
pt_BR.utf8
pt_PT
pt_PT@euro
pt_PT.utf8
I'm not sure how to tweak the way your Linux terminal represents
characters above 0x7F.
Note that GNU bash's implementation of echo (as shown above) is not
POSIX-compliant. If you're using a different shell, either use bash as
an auxiliary shell, or find out if and how your implementation of echo
differs from mine.
Best regards,
Tony.
