Nerdtree in docker container

Symptom

  • In the tree view of nerdtree, you see ?~V? instead of arrow shape.

Possible reason

  1. vim is not installed but vi
  2. The locale setting is wrong

Solutions

Just install vim

sudo apt-get install vim

Check and fix the current locale

root@785c117ae81d:/# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX

root@785c117ae81d:/# sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
root@785c117ae81d:/# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

Put them in .bashrc

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Same for me. Thanks a bunch. Also note that locale-gen is bundled with the locales package.
