Hello Chris,

Does the terminal use a font for utf8-encoding?
You can test it like this: put a pound sign into a file and be sure, that
this file is utf-8 encoded. Then try "cat file" in the terminal.

To get the right font in my xterm, I have the following line in my
.Xdefaults:
             xterm*font: -adobe-courier-bold-r-*--20-*-iso10646-1

Cheers, Peter
