Ah, I see. Probably something in your init scripts is resetting the TTY.
I think I have a much better way. I wrote a Perl script (sttyutf8) that
allows you to set it yourself.
Usage:
sttyutf8
sttyutf8 on
sttyutf8 off

#!/usr/bin/perl
use POSIX qw(:termios_h);
sub IUTF8 {0x4000}
my $term = POSIX::Termios->new;

my $iflag = $term->getiflag();
my $param = $ARGV[0];

printf "UTF-8 is %s.\n", ($iflag & IUTF8) ? "on" : "off";

exit 1;

$term->setiflag($iflag);
$term->setattr(fileno(STDIN), TCSANOW);
