I've read many reports on how one can add an utf8 input mechanism in the unix vm of Squeak... tried to do the trick with the -eventenc parameter but that didn't work in the latest release.
Never saw that parameter. The unix VM has -encoding (the encoding used for communication with the image), -pathenc (encoding of filenames on disk) and -textenc (encoding of 8-bit X clipboard data).
it's a workaround i found while searching...it's an addition to the VM by John McIntosh. You can find the needed changes here...

Didn't work though...
Well, the last time I looked at the code the unix vm didn't support multibyte key events. So you won't have any luck with setting the eventenc. Some time ago I submitted a patch to make this work. It obviously never made it into the vm. And I can't blame anyone because the code was bad. I have improved it a bit since than. So if there is interest and if somebody tells me where to send it I will submit the patch again.
Yes...please Martin...post it to the mail list...
Does that use the same field as on Mac an Win VMs? If so, sure, send it here! UTF-8 isn't really sensible for keyboard events, we use UTF-32 instead.
