  1. You need to use an compatible encoding to correctly show the foreign chars. Use sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales to select the locales for your machine. Set it to a UTF-8 locale and see if it fixes.

  2. Which console are you using? If you're connecting using PuTTY you need to change the character encoding under the settings. I'm not on a Windows machine at the moment so I can't guide you through each step but I think it's under Session -> Encoding or similar.

  3. When my term gets messed up, I run reset, and that fixes it:
