Fix your system to be UTF-8. It's high time, we've been in the 21st century for some time now.. :)
ehehehe you're right. apparently i am, but may be something i did wrong in some place...
What is your locale? What settings do you have on the console for LANG, LC_ALL and similar? What distro are you running?
I had it_IT.UTF-8@euro for everything but not LANG, which was it_IT@euro.
There you have it, this is not an UTF-8 locale. Reconfigure your system to use a UTF-8 locale like it_IT.UTF-8. On your Debian system you could run dpkg-reconfigure locales and make sure that the right one shows up in /etc/default/locale. Also set shell variables like LANG and LC_ALL to this value. Diego
