It seems that my Kubuntu install is CP-1252 for some reason. How can I
change that to UTF-8?
I discovered this by _confirming_ that Fedora is UTF-8 and that
Kubuntu is _not_. I then opened an empty text document in Kate,
confirmed that I am in UTF-8, and typed the names of the directories
on the Fedora box. I then switched encodings until I found an encoding
that produced the same strange characters that I see in Konqi when I
SSH into the Fedora box via fish protocol.
I tried to enter:
$ export LANG="he_IL.UTF.8"
$ export LC_ALL="he_IL.UTF.8"
But that did not help. I believe that there are more than just LANG and LC_ALL.
