From http://hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~mikosm...-unicode.html:

Code:

In order to tell applications to use UTF-8 encoding, and 
assuming U.S. English is your preferred language, you could
use the following command:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Applications started afterwards from the same terminal
window should be aware of UTF-8.
