The server is RHEL4, and so, yes, uses UTF-8 But making that change in
PuTTY doesn't solve this issue.
And, yes, there are lots of non-ASCII characters involved here. Most of
our users want to see non-English characters rendered correctly, and
using Xemacs is just what the doctor ordered. But there's one who wants
to see the characters not rendered, but in whatever the "base" code is.
I don't know squat about languages and character sets and such, so I
don't know the right terms to use :-(
