insert-string garbling characters

[Thomas Dupond]

Hello,

I'm just starting on exploring vile and I fell on something I
cannot solve. I was trying to write a macro and while vile
seems to handle UTF8 really well it doesn't seem to work well
with the function *insert-string*.

I can insert "é" but when I use "insert-string é" it prints this
mess : ￃﾩ

Any idea on how to solve this ?

My locale is :

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I'm on debian 4.19 and I compiled vile-9.8 from source with

./configure --with-builtin-filters

And $cfgopts = hypertext,locale,iconv,multibyte,terminfo


Kind regards,

Thomas
