Yes, your client does not handle UTF-8 properly. Use a client which supports UTF-8 encoding, like PuTTY (a free client in contrast to SecureCRT).
Yes, but only if you know to *set* PuTTY to UTF-8 ... My version of SecureCRT is kind of old (I don't believe in paying for upgrades from older releases, but they won't listen to my complaint of having to pay an additional $100 for a license, that's way off topic tho) and won't allow for UTF-8 encoding...
Guess I'll have to scrap SecureCRT and go with PuTTY...
Thanks, Ian
