Following the FreeBSD Handbook, I use login classes set in /etc/login.conf. If I remember correctly, nothing else is required. me@pollux:~ % setenv |grep UTF MM_CHARSET=UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 XTERM_LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8 -- No change whatsoever if I add in .cshrc the following lines. setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8 setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.UTF-8 -- Not surprising.
