This is specific to the garbled text issue I was having in pine. It was
definately the encoding set in my terminal.

I use tcsh for my display, this is how I got it to work.

my ~/.tcsh.config file I added the line:

setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8

I also did the same in my remote system.

I then ended my screen session completely, restarted screen after I verified
that the lang settings were on both my remote shell and my local konsole
setting.

I did that when I look at the garbled message it shows up properly.

Glad to hear you got it worked out. I'm surprised that it works by
setting LANG to UTF-8, or did you mean IS? Regardless, konsole
must be picking that variable up at start-time and setting the display
charset as such.

BTW, I mistyped my recipe for displaying the e-grave, character, which is
350, while a-grave is 340. The -e option is also crucial, for that tells
echo to interpret \350 as a character. Again, the command should be:

echo -e '\350'
