SSH and Unicode

For some reason, unicode doesn't work in programs started by SSH. I know it can, because I've done it before but lost the command.

$ ssh user@host
$ irssi

This allows me to type unicode into irssi. This, however, makes it show up as weird garbage:

$ ssh user@host irssi

Re: SSH and Unicode

From the ssh manpage: "If command is specified, it is executed on the remote host instead of a login shell"

That's your issue. Probably you've defined LC_ALL or LANG in .bash_profile or elsewhere, which isn't evaluated in this case.
