Hi,
guile replaces non-ascii unicodes with question marks while interpreting
script file:
> $ cat test.scm
> (display "蛤")
> $ file test.scm
> test.scm: UTF-8 Unicode text
> $ guile test.scm
> ?
while it works fine in REPL mode:
> $ guile <<<'(display "蛤")'
> GNU Guile 2.0.11
> Copyright (C) 1995-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
> Guile comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `,show w'.
> This program is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
> under certain conditions; type `,show c' for details.
> Enter `,help' for help.
> 蛤
and I think it's not a problem of my locale configuration:
> $ locale
> LANG=en_US.UTF-8
> LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
> LC_ALL=
because my terminal recognizes utf8 bytes:
> $ printf "\xe8\x9b\xa4"
> 蛤
where e8-9b-a4 is the utf8-encoded Chinese character "蛤"

Hi, putting (setlocale LC_ALL "") in the beginning of "test.scm" should
fix it.

Note that this is fixed in the 2.2 beta releases. See the discussion in
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Environment-Variables.html#Environment-Variables
(part of the 2.0 manual) for more on GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE.
Unfortunately there is still a bug in GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE=1 in most
versions of Guile 2.0 where Guile will install the locale, but not use
its charset for the default encoding :( Fixed in 2.2 beta releases, and
will be fixed in 2.0.12.
