Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Aug 31, 2025 by Davis-3450 Closed Nov 28, 2025
What version of Codex is running?
0.27.0
Which model were you using?
gpt-5 (irrelevant here)
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22631.0 x64
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Here are some of the chars that fail: "ñ", "í", "", which are non-ascii.
Open codex cli on windows, type or paste them, they won't be displayed nor will be able to be read by codex.
for example, if you paste this string: á, é, í, ó, ú, ü cli will see this: , , , , , ,
What is the expected behavior?
Should be able to write these characters.
Linux:

What do you see instead?
Well, can't type those.
Additional information
- Happens on windows but not Linux.
- I can do
codex "ñ"(non-tui) as a command and it works fine. - CLI appears to be able to render said chars properly when asked to.
- This bug only happens when you attempt to type or paste said chars.
