Q: Why? The accent handling was ok a few versions before.. What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: the same problem occurs if I put this in cron.

    Please paste output of locale or (if not available) set | grep LC_ and set | grep LANG both from within the router shell and from your workstation.

  • Bug reproduced here too. Locale isn't installed by default. There are no LC_ or LANGvariables on the router either. My workstation locale is en_GB.utf8. At a guess, there was no "accent handling" at all before, but now ls has been improved not to dump 8-bit characters to a terminal with unknown locale. Or maybe it's a true regression in the ssh server (dropbear).

Reset to default

You are using ash, the default busybox shell which does not support unicode fonts. See here for a bug report.

The only workaround will probably be to run another shell, like bash or zsh instead of ash. If those are installed, you can use chsh to change your default shell.

Sound like you have a file with another fonts such as:

mohsen@debian:~/test/locale$ touch پخاسثد
mohsen@debian:~/test/locale$ ls
پخاسثد

But your terminal configured as can't show your language, check the following variable:

mohsen@debian:~/test/locale$ echo $LANG
en_US.utf8

You should can support UTF-8.
