You should also change the system locale.  Please check /etc/enviroment
and /etc/default/locale and run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' if necessary.

So the programs output UTF-8, but your terminal is not ready for that.
Try to run 'unicode_start' and see if that helps.

The reason you need to set up a UTF-8 system locale is that
console-tools' init script checks for it and puts the terminal in
Unicode or ASCII mode depending on the value.
