Presumably you will need UTF-8 support in both the kernel (should be fine for a stock kernel) and in /etc/locale.gen (that's on Debian). My locale.gen looks something like: en_AU ISO-8859-1 en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8 Then you run locale-gen. Accented characters in mutt work for me now, although I'm not sure how to create them directly on the terminal. You might have more trouble than this; I didn't have chars as numbers like that, they were more just garbled characters or sometimes question marks.
