[SOLVED] Finch and special characters?

EDIT: Solved it by setting my SSH clients to send the locale at connect. Found out that locals were fine on server and on all computers but it changed local to POSIX when I ssh'd into the server. Easy fix to just set the ssh.conf to send LOCALE on connect and sshd to accept it.

Hi everyone!

Today I have been playing around a bit with my torrent/fileserver after I bought a new router. After I have changed some configs I can't get special characters to work in finch, like åäö.

Finch works fine with special characters on my desktop and laptop (also running archlinux) but not on the server. I usually run a screen with Finch 24/7 on the server, wich I can ssh to, that's why I want it to work there, too .

I have tried both en_US.utf8 and sv_SE.utf8 as locals. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? It worked before I started messing around but I can't understand what I have changed... Only thing is that I'm now using netcfg instead of setting ip in rc.conf, but it seems to be irrelevant...

Thanks for answering!

Here is my rc.conf:

# LOCALIZATION
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
#   in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
#
