UTF8 is nice but the application support is oh so bad.
- Gnome can't read my files in non UTF8 folders
- Mysql can't handle it in fulltext search.
- irssi doesn't convert
- ssh doesn't handle remoting to latin1 system
- The virtual consoles of Linux doesn't support them out of the box for me.

For ssh, use screen. I don't know why the virtual terminals don't work; have you tried unicode_start?

Or try uxterm. It always gives me keybinding issues, but it does do unicode.
