Can't type åäö on the command line when ssh'ing to a Debian machine. It works locally though.
Changing 'Declare terminal as' to 'xterm-color' doesn't seem to help, either.

Edit /etc/ssh_config and comment out the line:
SendEnv LANG LC_*
This config change was introduced by Lion. See man ssh_config
for more information on SendEnv.
Another alternative may be to modify the machines you're accessing, as described in grawity's answer.

Make sure the remote machine has correct locale settings:
the value of $LANG
(or $LC_CTYPE
) should be an UTF-8 locale (en_US.utf-8
for example); on Debian, the default value is set in /etc/default/locale
the chosen locale should be listed in locale -a
– if not, edit /etc/locale.gen
and run locale-gen
.

I had to comment out the line SendEnv LANG LC_*
in /etc/ssh_config
on a clean install of OS X Lion in order to get åäö to work on remote machines.
Just to make Google users happy: many of you probably want to configure this to make Irssi on remote servers work with special characters like åäö on Mac OS X Lion.
That's what I meant to write, updated my answer, thanks. :) – Jonatan Littke – 2011-08-05T11:05:58.307

Or even easier, you can uncheck the "Set locale environment variables on startup" setting in Terminal.app under Settings Windows > Settings Tab > Advanced and restart Terminal.app

I have added:
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=POSIX
in .bash_profile
located in my home folder.

My
locales
was broken. Upgraded/reinstalled usingapt-get install locales
and then re-checked the locales usingdpkg-reconfigure locales
. After logging out and back in, the umlauts were working again. – rec – 2015-05-07T09:14:24.133This worked before Lion though, so I'm guessing the problem is on my side. But I'll double check. – Jonatan Littke – 2011-07-26T12:22:16.560
locale-a gives me: locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory – Jonatan Littke – 2011-07-28T11:54:52.450
locale-gen is not a command, only a manpage, not sure what to run. – Jonatan Littke – 2011-07-28T11:55:57.287
@Jonatan: You might need the
locales
package on Debian. – user1686 – 2011-07-28T12:22:06.733Already installed: http://cl.ly/8zrl
– Jonatan Littke – 2011-08-03T09:58:11.883@Jonatan:
locale-gen
is supposed to be run by root, and is in/usr/sbin
because of that. – user1686 – 2011-08-03T16:39:06.043
