UTF-8 unicode encoding in terminal
NOTE: I have looked through related threads but can't find the solution to my problem.
Hello. I am creating a small game where you can play a round of poker in the terminal. For this I of course want the spades, hearts, clover and diamonds symbols. Using u2660 etc I get the icons to display in my IDE, but they wont display in my terminal. I have tried the following:
locale
displays
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=
I have
# coding=UTF-8
in the program.
I also have
LANG=en_EN.UTF8
in my bash_profile.
I am using a Mac if that's relevant.
This is from the terminal settings.
Any help is much appreciated

At least on my Linux systemUTF-8is not a valid locale, butC.UTF-8is. You can list all allowed locales withlocale -a.

Your terminal needs to support Unicode (this is pretty standard these days), your locale needs to be something ending with “.UTF-8” (“UTF-8” is not valid) and your font needs to include the relevant glyph. For example, in my urxvt with LC_CTYPE="en_NZ.utf8" and the DejaVu Sans Mono the suit characters show up as expected:
