Comment # 4
on bug 12763
from Gerald Combs
What do the commands `locale` and `env | grep -i utf` show? Also, do either of
LESSCHARSET=utf-8 ./tshark ... | less
or
./tshark -E bom=y ... | less
make the mojibake go away?
The TShark man page in master and master-2.2 says,
TShark uses UTF-8 to represent strings internally. In some cases the
output might not be valid. For example, a dissector might generate invalid
UTF-8 character sequences. Programs reading TShark output should expect
UTF-8 and be prepared for invalid output.
If TShark detects that it is writing to a TTY on UNIX or Linux and the
locale does not support UTF-8, output will be re-encoded to match the
current locale.
If TShark detects that it is writing to a TTY on Windows, output will be
encoded as UTF-16LE.
Even though your locale is "C", TShark is generating UTF-8 because you're
piping to less instead of writing to a TTY.
