1. Does your version of Solaris actually have a locale named en_US.UTF-8? If not you need to figure out how to create it. 2. What program is displaying octal codes, etc.? If it's tcsh the problem is most likely just that tcsh sucks. :) As far as I know it doesn't support UTF-8. You might be able to get it to display the characters with the same options that make 8bit encodings work, but I suspect it will be hard to interactively edit the commandline.
