Unicode
Question/Problem: Are you having problems with character encodings?
Answer/Fix: Try using Unicode/UTF-8.
Commandline programs
Localized characters doesn't display correctly in irssi, nano etc (they are replaced with question marks, squares or something similar.)
Solution:
Write this command at the shell prompt (you don't need to do this if you already choose UTF-8 in the shell setup):
echo 'export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"' >> ~/.profile
Next time you log in your shell will be in unicode.
For irssi, see FAQ/IrssiCharset.
Problem #2 - Webpages
Characters in webpages doesn't display correctly.
Solution:
Save the webpages in UTF-8 from your text-editor. Then create a new file named .htaccess in the same directory as your webpages (public_html) with the following content:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
