So set your locale to UTF-8.

The state of non-ASCII interoperability just sucks at the moment. 
However at least with UTF-8 you know your characters can at least be 
interpreted to mean what you want them to mean, if the other side is 
UTF-8 capable, whereas interoperability for the ISO-8859-X charsets 
just will suck, always, forever more...
