Thanks Guenther.  If I *do* want to change it globally, how do I go
about doing that?  Not too familiar with local options, but being in the
US I want whatever UTF-8 variant applies.  Currently I have:

$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Thanks.
