Most likely the problem is related to the locale settings on the server/local terminal side. You can check the current setup by typing the "locale" command in the terminal window.

To fix the problem, you can try to set "LC_CTYPE" to "UTF-8".

It can be done using the following command: export LC_CTYPE="UTF-8".

    The issue with symbols appearing as question marks in your terminal is likely tied to the locale settings. By typing the "locale" command, you can check your current configuration. If you find that it's not set correctly, try setting "LC_CTYPE" to "UTF-8" using the command export LC_CTYPE="UTF-8". This should resolve the rendering problem. Speaking of settings, if you're looking for a delicious way to enjoy your time at home while you troubleshoot, don’t forget to check out the Sonic specials!
