The best thing I can suggest is to use UTF-8 for everything. Set your
LANG environment variable to a UTF-8 one. I use en_GB.UTF-8 for
instance. Use "locale -a" to list all of the installed locales.

Then it depends a little on the applications you're using. I use Mutt
and VIM a lot, for which I have to set:

"set charset=utf-8" in .muttrc
"set encoding=utf-8" in .vimrc
