non-ASCII support?

[Malcolm Herbert <mjch%mjch.net@localhost>]

Folks - I use a combination of bash, screen, irssi (all on NetBSD) at   
the remote end and putty (on Windows) or Terminal (on Ubuntu) at the    
local end and haven't been able to get utf-8 working end-to-end ...     

Are there tips or pointers on getting more-than-merely-ASCII working
with this combination? Are there testing tools I can use to work out
which bit might be dropping the ball?

Given the world-wide nature of development on NetBSD, I don't believe
it isn't supported, I'm very probably just not doing it right ... :)

Regards,
Malcolm
