Is there a command I can run that shows that I'm using ISO-8859-1 ?
I need something to google with, my previous search only gave locale
stuff, which seems fine.

The locale(1) command tells you what your locale is set to, but it
doesn't say anything about your input method -- it only tells you what
your shell and commands started from it expect for input and what they
should produce for output.

The input method will generally be part of your windowing environment,
for which you'll have to search how to check/configure your OS
(sometimes it can be set on a per-window basis, sometimes it's a global
setting).

Even if the windowing environment is set to UTF-8, your terminal
emulator might be set to ISO-8859-something, so check the terminal
emulator (e.g., rxvt, Terminator, GNOME Terminal, PuTTY, ...).


I use putty which was set to ISO-8859-1. Changing this to UTF-8 gave me 
the correct result:

$ echo Noralf Trønnes | xxd
000: 4e6f 7261 6c66 2054 72c3 b86e 6e65 730a  Noralf Tr..nnes.

Thank you all for helping me!

What's happened here is that:

   1. You've authored your commit in ISO-8859-1
   2. Git itself has no place for the encoding of the author name in the
commit object format
   3. git-format-patch has a --compose-encoding which I think would sort
this out if you set it to ISO-8859-1, but it defaults to UTF-8
   4. Your patch is actually a ISO-8859-1 byte sequence, but is
advertised as UTF-8
   5. You end up with a screwed-up commit

You could work around this, but I suggest just joining the 21st
century and working exclusively in UTF-8, it makes things much easier,
speaking as someone with 3x more non-ASCII characters their his name
than you :)


Ok, then the question is: How do I switch to UTF-8?

To me it seems I'm already using it:
$ locale charmap
UTF-8

Your .gitconfig has an ISO-8859-1 string, from an earlier mail of yours:


$ git config -l | grep Noralf | xxd
000: 7573 6572 2e6e 616d 653d 4e6f 7261 6c66  user.name=Noralf
010: 2054 72f8 6e6e 6573 0aTr.nnes.

On a system configured for UTF-8 this would be:

$ echo Noralf Trønnes | xxd
000: 4e6f 7261 6c66 2054 72c3 b86e 6e65 730a  Noralf Tr..nnes.

Note the "f8" v.s. "c3 b8".

Git messes up 'ø' character

[Noralf Trønnes]

I can't get my name: Noralf Trønnes, to come out correctly when I
format and send a patch. The 'ø' becomes a question mark when received
in my email client.

This is the head of the patch file generated by git format-patch:
