The expected outcome is a portion of HTML. Obviously, this works only if you really have the en_US locale, i.e., the "locale" command in the xterm doesn't print any errors. And your locale setup is indeed incorrect, as "\303\244" appear, as if the paste resulted in UTF-8 bytes instead of ISO-8859-1, and as if bash treats these characters as unprintable (this happens only in the "C" locale). -- Alexander E.
