characterset=host charset

The character set for data received from the host. During a session, the terminal emulator receives a stream of 8-bit bytes from the server, and in order to display them on the screen it needs to know the character set in which to interpret these streams of bytes.

There are several character sets from which to choose. A few notable character sets are:

The ISO-8859 series are all standard character sets that include various accented characters appropriate for different sets of languages.

The Win125x series are defined by Microsoft for similar purposes. Win1252 is almost equivalent to ISO-8859-1, but contains a few extra characters such as matched quotes and the Euro symbol.

CP437 contains the old IBM PC character set with block graphics and line-drawing characters. This is also used on MS-DOS systems.

UTF-8 contains unicode data interpreted as being in the UTF-8 encoding. Not all server applications will support UTF-8.

The default is ISO-8859-1.
