<title>Change profile character encoding</title>
<p>You should normally be able to use the default, UTF-8 encoding for all of
your terminal needs. If you do find that you regularly need to use a
different character encoding for a specific task, you can
<link xref="pref-profiles#new-profile">create a new profile</link> with a
different encoding.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
<gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the sidebar, select your current profile in the <gui>Profiles</gui>
section.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui style="tab">Compatibility</gui> tab.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Set the character encoding.</p>
</item>
</steps>

<p>Most modern operating systems now support and use UTF-8 character
encoding by default.</p>
