To enable high ASCII codes, you need to use the following command.

echo -en '\033(U'

What I did was placed this in the file /etc/profile.  Now, I haven't run a Red
Hat type OS in a long time, so, I don't 
know if this will work for you.  The profile is run each time a user opens a
shell, so, adding the above command enables 
the high ASCII codes when the open a shell.  If I remember, in some cases, the
file is .profile for each individual, and 
may be in their personal directory.

Anyway, hope that helps.
