wayvnc does not accept non-ASCII characters

[nesnera]

On PinePhone I run wayvnc from the terminal (ssh) this way # su manjaro -c "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 wayvnc 0.0.0.0 &" Everything works as expected except for non-ASCII characters. For example, if I want to send an SMS containing the word "špíčků" (Czech), I can type it on the virtual keyboard. From the laptop keyboard I can only type "pk" see the picture.

The PinePhone terminal will display:

ERROR: Failed to look up keyboard symbol: scaron

Have you tried setting --keyboard=cz?

Tried, but with the wrong value - cs_CZ.😂 I can write non-ASCII chars with cz without problems.👍

However, I encountered a problem with the clipboard. (Content with non-ASCII characters is correct. Should I create a new issue?)

Moreover, the behaviour after connecting to PP varies depending on the client used. (I normally use Parcellite, but turning it on/off has no effect.) I use the string špíčků for testing.

both:

• clipboard content with non-ASCII characters cannot be inserted into PP
• the content of the clipboard from PP is transferred to the notebook
• the clipboard within PP always works well

KRDC:

• Laptop > PP: when inserted into the clipboard, the clipboard content is inmediatly transformed into ?pí?k?
• PP > notebook: the text is transformed into špí�ků

TurboVNC:

• Laptop > PP: the transformation of the clipboard content to ?p�?k? occurs after switching to TuroVNC
• PP > notebook: špíčků (it's correct 🎉)

Rfb CutText only supports latin-1 and we don't implement extended clipboard encoding. See: https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#clientcuttext and https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#extended-clipboard-pseudo-encoding.
