Greetings, <br>
<br>
I'm getting problems to use "bc" command in konsole because i
need to use ^ (
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
circumflex accent) but konsole don't show it.<br>
<br>
Anyone know how can i make that character appear?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

Don't know what bc command is, but: Using pclos I can print a ^
without any tricks, and having set a compose key,<br>
I can type hôtel, for instance, in the terminal. I just tried it.
I would be surprised if your Ubuntu machine won't do <br>
that. (I have US keyboard with the compose key set up for the right
CTRL key. If you have a k/b with Microsoft keys,<br>
you could make the right M/S key your control key--it's not good for
anything else.) Generally speaking, any character<br>
I can print in KWrite, or LibreOffice or Thunderbird mail, I can
print in the terminal. And most mail readers can reproduce<br>
the foreign characters OK too. I'm sure you can set up a compose key
in Ubuntu--I have probably done it myself in<br>
the past, when I was messing with Ubuntu. That distro has superb
documentation, so look it up. I've never seen a<br>
command that used a foreign character, but I believe that some
complicated bash commands use the ^ by itself, <br>
so you shouldn't even need a compose key for that. <br>
