In my experience an appropriate locale must be set or else the characters are
considered "non-printable".

Here's the relavant part from my bash .profile file:

export LANG=en_IE@euro
export LC_ALL=en_IE@euro
export LANGUAGE=en_IE@euro
export LC_CTYPE=en_IE@euro

Normally my locale would be de_DE, but I don't like German messages in mutt and
other programs. en_IE was the only possibility to get the Euro sign in my
locale :-) Finally some advantage in having Irland in the EU ;-)
