wtf???
screenshot of a terminal window running `grep include src/gui/main.cpp | head -n5`, which prints the first five #include lines of the C++ source code. for some reason the terminal replaced every occurrence of the # (hashtag / pound sign) symbol with £ (pound sterling sign)

this happens only in this one terminal window

and only the shell is affected, i can’t even type # without it appearing as £

opening this file in vim is fine though!

TIL: there is an escape sequence that makes a line wide (\e#6), which Konsole apparently understands

:w_wide: :h_wide: :a_wide: :t_wide:

screenshot of a terminal window, running `printf` with a string that contains the `[ESC] e # 6` escape sequence. The resulting text is printed twice as wide than usual.

Terminals are weird.
screenshot of a terminal window, running `printf` with a string that contains the `[ESC] e # 4` escape sequence. The resulting text is printed twice as big than usual, overlapping the line above it.

I'm having so much fun with this lmao
screenshot of a terminal window running `gcc main.c || printf "\e#3This code is ass. Compilation terminated.\n\n"`. since the C source file has some errors in it, compilation fails with the usual error messages from the compiler. after these the text "This code is ass. Compilation terminated" is printed twice as big
