Question Locales UTF8 - not working

Hello,

I'm facing a strange problem in one of my Debian server, what is happening right now it that I have runned dpkg-reconfigure locales to set en_US UTF-8 so in that way I could use accentuation in my system.

Code:
# locale -a
C
en_US.utf8
POSIX
pt_BR.utf8

However, when I create a new file via console like vi test and I try to use "ç" or "é" for example the char is broken.

Any ideas?Smilie
