tmux (and screen) don't even let you search the history for non-ASCII characters :-( That said, the git and shell mentions in the article made things look worse than they are – e.g. in Xubuntu I didn't have to do anything special to at least display the characters, though in the wrong order: http://bildr.no/view/dFN0elo4 http://bildr.no/view/dFN0elo4 Emacs has had bidi support since 24.1, works great, and most importantly, those of us who get totally confused by it can turn it off (I still haven't gotten the hang of movement commands suddenly going the opposite direction, very confusing when RTL and LTR scripts are in the same file).
