OK, I think I've got it. You're using UTF-8 aren't you ? Try it
with ISO 8859-1 :

$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
