I was wrong, it does change the input encoding when you type or display 
strings.

However, testing common commands from Python using os.system and in 
shell scripts show that commands want to get utf-8 input and return 
utf-8 input. If you change the terminal charset encoding you simply 
display the utf-8 strings as junk.
