My ./bash_profile contain
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1
export LC_CTYPE
Keep all LC_* as C. I get all French/German... chars OK.
So
$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
