Is there a UTF-8 terminal emulator for Linux that supports
cannaserver/kinput2? Or, to put it another way, is there a version of
kterm that outputs UTF-8?  I am running RedHat, so their packages are
preferable.



I don't know about kterm... when I run it it doesn't seem to work, but I
haven't checked to see if there's a way to coerce it.  I'm using UTF-8
with kinput2 and canna, but I use konsole (from KDE 3.2 on Slackware 10)
and it seems to work without problems.  The only things that gave me
trouble in getting the whole thing going were the environment variables
and getting a good unicode font installed that actually had non-western
characters in it. One thing to note... even with kinput2 and canna
running, I couldn't enter Japanese text in KDE until I set the LC_CTYPE
variable to ja_JP.UTF-8.  I have everything else is set for en_CA.UTF-8...
I'm not currently comfortable enough with Japanese to switch everything
away from English...

I can do Japanese in Konsole too, I found out a couple days ago, but I can't imagine why I would want to.

I just found out that I can now use Kedit for Japanese, if I start it from a konsole with "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2 kedit &" (Kate works too), which seems to be potentially useful. (But I get a scary message: "kdecore (KAccel): WARNING: kde_g_bKillAccelOverride set, but received an event other than AccelOverride."
