I remember only setting LANG for screen and clearing TERMCAP for irssi,
the latter only being relevant for irssi-colors:
irssi_su LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/pkg/bin/screen -S irssi -d -m -e^Yy \
sh -c \"TERMCAP= exec /usr/pkg/bin/irssi --home=/data/irssi\"
(irssi_su being something like `su irssi -c')
That's remote NetBSD-6 and local GNU/Linux.
