When I run this command:
rm /tmp/jerry.txt rm: remove regular file â/tmp/jerry.txtâ?
I get the a with the carrot on top…
How do I get back to the normal characters ?
echo $TERM
linux
Thanks,
Jerry

Are you logged in on a console, or remotely using a terminal emulator?
If the latter, which one? I’d expect your TERM to be some xterm variant.
Have you tried “reset”?
This may also be related to your terminal and supported language sets. You may be using unicode UTF-8, where your terminal (I’m assuming you’ve ssh’d in with putty or something) is only configured for latin-1 or iso-8859-1.
“echo $LANG” and set your terminal emulator (like putty) appropriately.

Your locale specifies an encoding that your terminal doesn’t understand, i.e., they are out of sync, e.g., LC_CTYPE includes “.UTF-8” but your terminal expects Latin1 or vice-versa. Change your terminal to match LC_CTYPE or change LC_CTYPE to match your terminal (perhaps even unset it).
