" To type international characters (£åäö) in bash, add the following lines
to your ~/.inputrc file and restart bash:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
set input-meta on
set kanji-code sjis
set meta-flag on"
That doesn't exactly work for me: all it does is make the £ key generate
"\243" instead of actioning the insert-comment binding.
cheers,
