But the instance opened from command line shows unicode fine. Similar problem: If I open the first gnome-instance using Alt-enter, it doesn't show unicode, but if the first instance is opened from another terminal, say urxvt, then it shows unicode fine. All further instances of gnome-terminal have the behavior as first instance of gnome-terminal. It doesn't fix by rebooting.. I'm on i3 version 4.7.2 (2014-01-23, branch "tags/4.7.2") Similar problem here too: http://pdp.microjoe.org/forums/sujet/327/problemes-dunicode-avec-urxvt EDIT: Fixed the problem- my global locale settings didn't handle UTF_8. Locally they did. Changed global settings and logged out and logged back in and everything is fine now.
