Another possibility is that the language setting are done in your
.profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.

All servers where this happened to me, the default locale on the
server wasn't an UTF-8 one. "dpkg-reconfigure -plow locale" as root on
the server and choosing an UTF-8 locale as default helped in all my
cases. (Took that as a reason to finally migrate all my boxes to UTF-8
defaults. :-)

HTH.

		Kind regards, Axel
