Use "cat -v" as part of the command pipeline if you want to see

but if I try

I get something like:
M-WM-)M-WM-^\M-WM-^UM-WM-^]123
Any way to idea Hebrew characters under watch?

This works for iso-8859-8 locale, but not for UTF-8 locale. I think
it's a bug in both watch (for treating these characters as
unprintables) and in cat (for the same reason).<br>

I do believe they have problems dealing with multi-byte characters. I
have nothing to suggest besides sending a bug report.<br>
