The "set termencoding=utf-8" part should *NOT* be necessary!
This is not an acceptable solution. Vim should detect the terminal
character set automatically from the locale.
Please verify, whether you have really successfully set a UTF-8
locale. In particular, does "locale charmap" output "UTF-8"
as the encoding of the current locale? If not, make sure that
no LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL is overriding your LANG setting and that
there is really the selected locale installed in /usr/lib/locale/
("locale -a" for a list of normalised locale names).
