Title:
  xiterm+thai is installed and set to x-terminal-emulator

Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On a clean install of Lubuntu Desktop 18.04, the default x-terminal-
  emulator is set to txiterm, which comes from the package xiterm+thai.
  With this terminal it's not possible to use characters with accents
  like í or Á.

  This is particularly troublesome when using a Brazilian Portuguese
  install, as the Desktop folder is called "Área de Trabalho", Music is
  "Música", Public is "Público" and Videos is "Vídeos". From a clean
  install using the terminal, it's impossible to access or use the
  directories "Música" or "Área de Trabalho". If another directory is
  created and starts with "V", then "Vídeos" become inaccessible, the
  same if a directory starting with "P" is created happens to Público.

  Lubuntu has the lxterminal terminal emulator, which does not have this
  problem, but the default x-terminal-emulator that is set is txiterm.
  If the default x-terminal-emulator was lxterminal, this would not
  happen.
