I never changed my character set since I installed FreeBSD. I did change
it in applications such as Pine and LyX from ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-15 for
special characters used in Europe, but never system wide. I am using the
standard bourne shell in FreeBSD by the way.
When I exit the xterm and restart it the problem is gone, and works it ok.
