Special characters not being displayed properly inside text editors on a docker container












0















I'm trying to display these Special Characters,µß£¬, on my Docker Container running java-centos' vi editor and nano editor, but the ß character is replaced with sort of a question mark instead.



expected output: µß£¬
actual output: µ�~_£¬.



But I can echo these characters on the terminal?!?! So it's just to do with the editors not being able to display the ß character.



I've tried all the suggestions from changing the default locale from POSIX to C.UTF-8 to setting the locale to German, to no avail.



Dockerfile:



FROM nimmis/java-centos:oracle-8-jdk
ENV LANG C.UTF-8
