[Bug 1569964] Re: Malformed characters on the console with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 are shown

[Benno Schulenberg]

I think this bug should instead be filed against the console, against
the font it uses, not against each individual package that uses pretty
quotes.  Really, a modern font should be able to render “” and ‘’ and «»
correctly, also on the console (VT).

** Summary changed:

- Malformed characters on the console with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 are shown
+ On the console block characters are shown instead of pretty quotes

Title:
  On the console block characters are shown instead of pretty quotes

Status in nano package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with nano 2.5.3-2 and on going to the
  console and setting LANG to de_DE.UTF-8 I'm noticing that changing an
  existing file with nano and aborting the changes with CTRL + X does
  show before and after the word "Nein" a black square instead of the
  characters „ and “ as they are shown on a terminal.
