[SOLVED]Terminal Does not Show Turkish Letters

When i type ls in terminal i see

Belgeler     Genel                             Resimler  ''$'\304\260''ndirilenler'
 Documents   'Masa'$'\303\274''st'$'\303\274'   Videolar  ''$'\305\236''ablonlar'
'GOG Games'  'M'$'\303\274''zik'                yay

but i should see

Belgeler    Genel  Resimler  İndirilenler
Documents   Masaüstü   Videolar   Şablonlar
'GOG Games'  Müzik   yay

My locale.conf file is correct and when i type localectl locale locale -a it shows

System Locale: LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: trq
   X11 Layout: tr
    X11 Model: pc105
  X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

locale: Varsayılan yerel için LC_ALL ayarlanamaz: Böyle bir dosya ya da dizin yok
LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="tr_TR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="tr_TR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="tr_TR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="tr_TR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

C
C.utf8
ja_JP.utf8
POSIX
tr_TR.utf8

and my /etc/locale.conf file is

LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8

and i don't think it is about my terminal apps because i tried both kde console and kitty, both gave same results.
Please help me.

Re: [SOLVED]Terminal Does not Show Turkish Letters

locale: Varsayılan yerel için LC_ALL ayarlanamaz: Böyle bir dosya ya da dizin yok

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

LC_ALL is exported to some bogus value.

printf "$LC_ALL" | od -x

and my /etc/locale.conf file is

So where're the other LC values coming from?
KDE?

Re: [SOLVED]Terminal Does not Show Turkish Letters

LC_ALL is empty, no idea where the error is coming from.
Try to logout, remove the plasma setting from a console login and then log back into plasma, does the terminal still act up?
Since it's set in various fields and just as good measure, compile the en_US.utf8 locale (uncomment and then run  locale-gen)
