  <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>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
      <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the sidebar, select your current profile in the <gui>Profiles</gui>
      section.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui style="tab">Compatibility</gui> tab.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Set the character encoding.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

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