i have a german keyboard and set up xorg accordingly (details further down). when i enter diacritics ä/ae, ö/oe, ü/ue or ß/ss terminal prints "?" (a question mark) instead. in contrast both gnome-terminal and yakuake/konsole print diacritics as expected. details about my setup: - Xfce keyboard settings: Use system defauls - Linux kernel: 2.6.31 - xorg version: 1.6.5 # setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; please let me know what i can do to help you track that down.
Does changing the input methode of vte help? (Right-click terminal, should be there in the menu)?
Created attachment 2716 Screenshot of working terminal I can't reproduce this issue. Even though I'm using en_GB as locale, German umlauts do work here. On another machine I'm using de_DE as locale and it works as well. What's your locale? Are yu sure you are using utf-8? And note that my xkb_geometry is pc105 not pc104 as yours.

By now I have moved on to xorg 1.7.3. With my current setup diacritics are working. Let's close it as "invalid" then, okay?
