Bash is a shell, which runs INSIDE a terminal. The terminal is bash's parent process -- something like xterm or gnome-terminal -- if you are under X, or the Linux kernel's builtin console if you aren't. (Or if you're ssh-ing in from another system, the terminal is running on the client, and could be something like Putty, etc.) > > Also, what locales do you use? > > env The command you want to run here is "locale". But cherry-picking from this... > LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15 > LC_TIME=nl_NL.utf-8 Looks like a complete disaster. You've got two entirely different encodings here (one iso8859-* and one utf-8). First you need to figure out what terminal you're using, on what kind of computer, and whether that terminal supports UTF-8 or not. If the terminal is UTF-8 capable then your locale should be a UTF-8 one, not an ISO-8859-* (single byte) one.
