Yes, existing text is displayed correctly, and the problem is with
typing French characters.

The result of the eval is: utf-8-unix

I have this in .emacs:
(setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

It is a text-mode session (Emacs -nw through SSH).
