Character Encoding issue

[deseven]

Pipes create subshells, so if you want to set LANG explicitly it should be done in both shells you spawn:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 echo “iCanHazShortcut” | LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pbcopy

But first declaration can be omitted because echo actually doesn't care about encodings:
echo “iCanHazShortcut” | LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pbcopy

However, I recommend setting your locale variables through your shell config file (.bash_profile or similar), add this:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

After that all commands you input in iCHS will use the desired locale parameters.

Ha! I had checked my environment for LANG, but I hadn’t thought to check LC_ALL. Adding that to my .bashrc fixed the problem. Thanks!!

I usually just call locale that quickly shows all related variables.
You're welcome! Closing this.
