  <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>Open <guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui>
      <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Your current profile is selected in the sidebar. If you wish to edit
      a different profile, click on its name.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui style="tab">Compatibility</gui> tab and set the
      character encoding.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

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