Unicode in Konsole

[Peter Clark <peter-clark@bethel.edu>]

	I'm scratching my head over this one: I'd set my console environment to 
UTF-8, but it didn't show up correctly in Konsole. Instead of Unicode 
characters, I got a lot of two-byte characters, like Á¶ and all that. I was 
using a Unicode-capable font, and everything should have worked fine, but 
didn't. Then I discovered by accident today that if I start Konsole from 
Konsole, Unicode worked, without changing any other settings. That is, I can 
have two Konsole windows open, the second started from the command line of 
the first. The first is unable to display Unicode, while the second does. 'ps 
ax' shows that both instances were started identically, i.e., not by kdeinit. 
(The first one is launched by clicking on an icon in a SuperKaramba theme, if 
that somehow makes a difference, although launching it through Alt-F2 or 
K-Menu->System->Konsole still does not display Unicode.)
	So, how can I get Konsole to display Unicode without having to launch a 
second instance and close the first?
	TIA,
