Trying to type special "umlauts" inside a jail fails

[ovizii]

I am trying to type ü,ö,ä and similar stuff while being connected via ssh straight to a jail on my freeNAS 9.3 (latest as of right now). When typing characters like that, nothing happens.

So I googled and figured out I had to set UTF-8 as my character set:

Code:

cat .login_conf

me:\
    :charset=UTF-8:\
    :lang=de_DE.UTF-8:

tested:

Code:

locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

still, can't type ü,ö,ä.

I don't want to set it to ISO-8859-1 which works btw, as I'm trying to setup a file sync to this jail so I need my files to be and stay in UTF-8.

Any advice?

Were you able to figure out a UTF-8 solution for this?
