That would probably fix it, though it's probably not the correct fix.
Strictly speaking the encoding ought to be determined by the locale
not hardcoded to utf8, but perhaps on Ubuntu it's reasonable to say it
must always be utf-8, even if the user wants something else on their
terminal? If you want to use non-ascii, you should use a unicode
locale.
