I have locales set correctly in /etc/locale.gen:

Have these locales been generated? After editing locale.gen, you have to run `locale-gen` as root.
and according to 'locale', all my variables seem to be in order:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [...]
Where are these locale variables set?
If they are in your `.bashrc`, it could be that your terminals do not have the proper variables -- for example,
awesome LANG="" └── xterm LANG="" - expects ISO-8859-1 └── bash LANG="en_US.UTF-8" - emits UTF-8 └── mc LANG="en_US.UTF-8" - emits UTF-8
-- causing the terminal to expect a different charset than the one `mc` uses.
You can check using ` tr "\0" "\n" < /proc/$PPID/environ ` in a new terminal (where $PPID should expand to the PID of xterm/sakura/whatever).

Thank you! After checking the environs of the different processes, it seems all of them had LANG= -- so a quick reboot fixed it. I guess after I generated the locales, I needed to relog at least (but did a restart just to be sure.) All working now! Thank you. Tim
