If this variable\nis empty, dictl attempts to determine the character set to be used from the output of the lo‐\ncale command.\n\nArguments  passed  to  dictl including word are converted from the user's preferred character\nset to server's character set specified by DICTLSERVERCHARSET variable (utf-8 if it is  un‐\nset), and passed to dict.  The server's output from dict is converted to the user's preferred\ncharacter set.\n\nNOTE: Because iconv omits characters from output that are invalid,\nrecode -f is used for character set  conversions  by  default.   If  you  prefer  iconv,  set\nDICTLUSEICONV variable to non-empty string.  If you want to use konwert, set DICTLUSEKON‐‐\nWERT to non-empty string.\n\nBecause recode, iconv and konwert do not support conversion to or from the \"C\" or \"POSIX\" lo‐\ncales,  it is recommended that all users whose locale is \"C\" or \"POSIX\", set DICTLCHARSET to\n\"latin1\" (ISO8859-1).\n\n### OPTIONS\n\ndictl accepts all dict options as described in dict(1).\n\n### AUTHOR\n\ndictl was written by Aleksey Cheusov <vle@gmx.net>\nThis manual page was written by Robert D. Hilliard <hilliard@debian.org> and Aleksey  Cheusov\n<vle@gmx.net>\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\ndict(1), recode(1), iconv(1), konwert(1)\n\n\n\nDICTL(1)\n\n"
