Alternative terminal emulation for Google Cloud browser SSH login?

  • 772

Can the Google Cloud SSH browser support any other character sets besides ASCII?

I go into my Dashboard, then click on SSH.

enter image description here

After that, the CLI "gui" uses extended ASCII. Instead of extended ASCII lines being used, it seems like only US7ASCII is being used. Is there a way to change the character set or terminal emulation used by default?

  1. You can use alternative methods to SSH your instance, like PuTTY

    And you can use the Cloud Shell for SSH running this command

    gcloud compute ssh --project [PROJECT_ID] --zone [ZONE] [INSTANCE_NAME]

    Which character encoding are your OS using? You can check it running the command locale if this looks fine try commenting out SendEnv LANG LC_* in the local /etc/ssh/ssh_config file.
