double byte character set

[Kellogg Unix Team]

Hello,

One of the applications has Spanish characters (e.g. Ñ of hex-code d1). These are shown correctly in application screen. But when application writes the file to a directory, it writes different characters for those characters. Can it be because of my profile is not able to handle double-byte character set? If that is true, how can I change it so it recognizes and displays them correctly? My default shell is ksh.

Thanks in advance

Unless you are talking about an X terminal (for which we can do something) then the way that a given hex value is displayed on a device is solely determined by the output device (e.g. printer, terminal, or terminal emulator). Note that D1h does not require a 2-byte representation but it does require 8-bit character sets.
