Did you select a locale appropiate for UTF8 as well? It's pretty easy
to get into trouble if you select a non-matching pair of locale and
encoding. UTF8 locales are usually prefixed with ".UTF8", so for
example in my case es_CL.UTF8 works with UTF8 encoding, but es_CL
doesn't, as the latter assumes iso-8859-1 encoding.
