Set the LANG environment variable to the correct value. On my Tiger  
system, I set it to "en_US.UTF-8"; you may wish to use a different  
locale.

The encoding of the locale (UTF-8, in my case) must match the  
encoding that your terminal expects. I have configured my  
Terminal.app in Tiger to expect UTF-8; check your ssh client to see  
what encoding it expects.
