Hello, I’ve tried to find someone else using OpenBSD in various places for a while now, but with no success, so I’m hoping someone will read this.

I’m wondering what your output is from file(1) on a file you know has text encoded as UTF-8.

On my system (7.3-stable) the output is “Non-ISO extended-ASCII text”, and I’m trying to figure out if this is how it should be, or if I did something wrong setting up the system.

So, if you have a computer with OpenBSD and a minute to spare, could you try running file(1) on a UTF-8 file and see if it identifies it as UTF-8 or “Non-ISO extended-ASCII text”?

Thanks in advance

    Thank you. At least I know now that it’s the expected output of utf-8 files, that’s good to know. Thank you again.
