I have tried ths before. I didn't work on the default "konsole" ( I
use suse 9.2 with kde) but when I use the session "Linux Console" it
works as long as I have the font set to Unicode. All other settings
doesn't show the right chars. Could it be that I use tcsh?
The output on konsole is:
-e \342\212\206 \342\207\222

I like and am quite familiar with english and haven't yet bothered
to switch to sv_SE.UTF-8. Before I installed a fresh suse 9.2 I used
suse 9.1 and had it configured so that I could easily switch lang.
