I'm not sure if this is an Ubuntu-specific question, but I'm asking here first, because I'm running Ubuntu 20.04. If this turns out to not be pertinent to Ubuntu, I'm glad to go elsewhere to ask this.
I am a clumsy typer, and occasionally, I hit an incorrect keystroke sequence which causes all characters that are typed to start coming out in a new character set ... it looks like garbled characters and also some Greek characters. This happens in every window that I am running, including on the console, so this is not application-specific.
Unfortunately, I don't know which incorrect keystrokes might have caused this character-set switch to occur, and I'm hoping to find out ... and also to find out whether there is a similar set of keystrokes or possibly a command which would reset the character set back to normal ... where "normal" is UTF-8.
When this problem occurs, the character set gets reset back to normal if I reboot my machine.
If this is not a good place to ask this question, can anyone suggest a more appropriate place?
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions which could be offered.
