utf8 and accentuated chars [SOLVED]

hi everyone,

i'm having trouble accentuated chars : i get a double square thing instead of the expected char... i messed around with rc.conf and xorg.conf, but to no avail.
i'd appreciate any help on that one.

thanks

As of glibc 2.3.6, glibc does not provide all locales. You must edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the locales you want built, then run locale-gen as root.
