Char set change`?

Ì've encountered this problem several times. I either display log info with tail or I'm executing code and suddenly the charset seems to change in terminal.

See link for screendump

Can someone please explain why this happens, and I to avoid it.

Regards Jnusa

Most line mode terminal drivers respond to escape sequences --- ASCII 27 followed by some characters. If you send ESC and some chars to screen, the screen driver will try to interpret them, rather than display them.

You can sometimes use stty to reset things.

See if your driver supports stty -iexten

Well, I tried to reset the terminal (just so you know, I'm running the terminal inside X, so am I still using 'terminal driver' as you imply?) with stty -a command, but no luck. When I run the stty command, it looks like my driver supports -iexten. Any other ideas?
