NOTE: this message is in UTF-8; it will not display correctly on a non-UTF-8 system. I think you haven't selected the en_US.UTF-8 locale successfully. What does the locale command say? Perhaps you did not really generate the en_US.UTF-8 locale? Any UTF-8 locale should show UTF-8 texts in the same way. The difference between the various UTF-8 locales is only in the user interface (the language of menus, warnings, etc.), not in the encoding or displaying of texts. In this case, what you want to see is e.g., a Turkish dotless i (ı), which is 0xc4 0xb1 in UTF-8. What you see instead is ı. In ISO-8859, Ä is 0xc4, ± is 0xb1. So it seems that in your case, the application generates proper UTF-8, but your system still uses some kind of ISO-8859 character set. Switching to any kind of UTF-8 locale (which can be done in Debian by setting e.g. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/environment) should solve the problem, I think. IMHO Debian should do this by default.
