Unicode support

[piotao]

Text written with utf8 encoding is garbled in the terminal with no apparent reason, no matter what terminal window is used. At least in konsole and x-terminal-emulator, on UTF8-enabled system.

Result in app:

• x +2x=0
• ~B ~G
• duck: ~_ ~F
• normal text works

Text in TODO:
TODO: x²+2x=0
TODO: żółć
TODO: duck: 🦆
TODO: normal text works

At least in konsole and x-terminal-emulator

Today, I installed todo-rs and ran it from mate-terminal on Arch Linux and can't reproduce this bug. Can you check the fonts/terminals you installed?

unfortunately I can't. It was more THAN ONE YEAR AGO, so sorry dude, it was a too-slow reply. I had another two versions of the system right now, since then, now it's on 23.4.

but...
I believe it was on MX Linux 23.1 or .2 system version, with xfce4 as a manager. Text was entered into a file with vim with no problems, displayed with no problem, cat/less/more were working and all chars were OK; and when it was displayed on the very same window from rust, it has this garbled content. Certainly some utf8 recoding/another stupid issue occured, but fonts and glyps and default terminal configuration simply worked.

I think there may be something with terminal configuration, maybe some flag was missing in the program, dunno. Maybe there is a single another step required. And right now I unfortunately have other important issues to fight - so I can only return to that in the future, hopefully.
