I do not know where that "3D" came from, but it isn't valid.

Try setting LC_ALL= and LANG= in ~/.xsession

Make sure the locale is correct, e.g. mine would be:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Capitalization and punctuation of the locale is important.

Generally:
language_LOCATION.ENCODING
