1) How can you find out what code page UNIX is using (437, 850)?
2) How do you change it if it's set to 437 and I need it to be 850?
3) Any advice (dos or don'ts) about changing code pages in UNIX?
It is highly recommended that u do not change the code pages for Unix because it might create the kernel panic id u didn't refer the proper code segment.
Generally Applications itself navigate to the segments.
Will u please explain why u want to change the code page.

I'm not sure I want to change it, but I do want to see what it's set to. I have a Java application that creates a csv file. Right before I write the data out to the file, I'm verifying that my string contains a special French character (ASCII code 201, Capital E acute accent). However, if I cat the csv file or try to load it into Excel, it displays a ? where the special character should be printed. I read an article that said the 437 code page does not support all the special French special characters, so I thought maybe that could be my problem.
