I have installed Raspbian Lite on my Raspberry Pi and works perfectly except for one thing. A few Turkish characters do not appear as they should, but they appear as squares. Some of the characters that appear as square:
İ ı Ğ ğ Ş ş
How can I fix this? My locale is already TR_tr (UTF-8).
As you're using Lite, this is likely a console font issue. You'll need to
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
then select UTF-8, then for Character Set, choose
# Latin1 and Latin5 - western Europe and Turkic languages
You may need to reboot to see the effects of this change.
The Linux console still pretty much thinks there are only 256 places in a character set, and it has to make assumptions about the characters you want to see. These assumptions don't work for everyone, so you have to give your Raspberry Pi a hint that Turkish characters are what you want to see.
TerminusBold for font (?).
it might be your keyboard setting problem. You can use command on shell keyboard settings open change according to you need
If you have already updated your operating system (do it by typing "sudo apt update & upgrade), the problem seems coming from unsupported font types.
You can install fonts by downloading it from any website or use terminal to do so. It must be solving your problem as I have seen this problem for Hindi (India) fonts.
Use "sudo apt install < package name >" to install fonts.
