If your using GNU/LINUX you should be able to see what your encoding is by typing the command "locale."
I suppose you may want to be using UTF-8 for your encoding.
You can change your encoding by adding to the /etc/profile

export LC_ALL=UTF-8

or replace UTF-8 to what your wanting to change the encoding to. As I use US encoding, my option looks as:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
