$ set | grep LANG GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $ ./stringsample | grep "The string" The string 'cr?me br?l?e' is 12 characters long and is stored in 15 bytes $ file stringsample.vala stringsample.vala: UTF-8 Unicode C++ program text I've tried opening the file in gedit and saving it as UTF8 to be sure; this is on gnome-terminal.
