Contact your shell Admin. This is usually a problem with Unicode settings.

not a shell problem at all

do a forum search for "encoding" and clues on how to solve it

the likely reason for your issue is reading from file with different than default system's encoding

I beg to differ, it's possible.

Had the exact problem last year on a RH box. Suddenly appeared out of nowhere after months of no dramas; an upgrade of some sort caused it. Admin fixed! :P

well, if you classify modifications in default environment (variables) as "shell problem", you might have a point here; however, you have full control over these variables for your shell sessions (and therefore for your processes), so you don't really need to bother your admin, you can (and should) fix that yourself

I didn't cause it so he fixed it (apart from the fact I had no idea what my friend did in the first place). :P

PS: He didn't have a clue what he did either. LOL
