What shows if not the proper non-standard characters?
You may want to also look into your console font settings and/or
SVGATextMode.
man consolechars
man SVGATextMode
The other thing I noticed when in console mode was that the
international keys (umlauts, etc.) only appeared when I was in an
editor. Not sure if bash filters them out or what is going on.
