Okay, here at work, we're trying to get our software to be UTF-8ified. The majority of our developers are using Dapper, and are having no problems using gnome term + ssh to our development server to edit UTF-8 code, however, a developer using windows is having trouble decoding UTF-8 characters, both in regular apps and in PuTTY.
Basically, at first, it showed up as binary jibberish. After doing some PuTTY and Windows reconfiguring, I got it to display those little boxes for each letter. It basically seems like non-latin letters are showing up as boxes, rather than as an int'l character. My first hunch was that it was a font issue, but I tried using Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, which is the same font that Dapper uses for gnome-term, and I still had bad luck.
