I'm accessing my fedora trough ssh using secureCRT on Windows 98 (however what I'll describe happens also using putty).
You need to set PuTTY to use UTF-8 (not sure how to do the same with secureCRT).
I've never heard a method to convince secureCRT to interpret the UTF-8 character set. If you find one, please post it.
I always recommend PuTTY anyway. It supports UTF-8, provides an ssh agent, and is Free Software. It's far better, IMO, than secureCRT or SSH.COM's client.
