The locale(1) command tells you what your locale is set to, but it doesn't say anything about your input method -- it only tells you what your shell and commands started from it expect for input and what they should produce for output. The input method will generally be part of your windowing environment, for which you'll have to search how to check/configure your OS (sometimes it can be set on a per-window basis, sometimes it's a global setting). Even if the windowing environment is set to UTF-8, your terminal emulator might be set to ISO-8859-something, so check the terminal emulator (e.g., rxvt, Terminator, GNOME Terminal, PuTTY, ...). Finally, check what stty(1) says (e.g., on Linux it should show that iutf8 is enabled) (this is mostly so that when you backspace in cooked mode the line discipline knows how many bytes to drop from the buffer).
