ok, can some please tell me how to type all those 'extended ascii' characters in my terminal and/or Gedit or whatever? i have been looking around the net for some time now and getting very confused. there's got to be some easy way to do it, right?

The lazy way: a character map.

sudo apt-get install gucharmap

I find the best way if to cut an paste from somewhere else.  This is one of the uses I put that "graphics_utf" script to.

@muzieca How do you change your terminal name so that it displays your name in different colors and that awesome break so that you start typing on the next line?

Re: ANSI colorschemes scripts

It is a variation on this theme:

PS1="\[\e[01;37m\]┌─[\t]──[\[\e[01;37m\u\e[01;37m\]]──[\[\e[00;37m\]${HOSTNAME%%.*}\[\e[01;37m\]]:\w$\[\e[01;37m\]\n\[\e[01;37m\]└──\[\e[01;37m\]>>\[\e[0m\]"

Copy/paste this in your $HOME/.bashrc file. Somewhere near the end of the file should be OK.
Then, in a terminal window: 

source $HOME/.bashrc

and tadaaaa..

Re: ANSI colorschemes scripts

^^ for your own reference, it is called the 'command prompt' or 'bash prompt'. for an explanation of all the weird characters etc, read this: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/index.html

Re: ANSI colorschemes scripts

Coming late to the show here...

Is there a way for me to have one of these (already saved a couple to my ~/bin folder) automatically top my terminator window?  That would be cool...
