By using xfce4 Terminal, I get the strange unicode characters which lets me think I haven't a specific encoder installed in the system? I use the default system font: Monospace Regular, sized 12.

Guake Terminal doesn't have this problem.

This one didn't help much:

EDIT: Nothing was wrong with my locale.gen...I just had to select the UTF8 in Unicode in Advanced tab

The right part of the image suggests that you default to ascii??
What's the output of

localectl
locale
locale -a

Also please replace the oversized (200x200 max) image w/ a link/thumbnail.

Fix your locale and use some UTF-8, many clients blindly rely on that.

You didn't point at what part's wrong on the output of mine.
