xterm, gone-terminal, and the virtual consoles.  None of them seem to
support UTF-8 out of the box.  The problem was fixed by turning off
UTF-8 by edditing /etc/sysconfig/i18n and replacing 'LANG="en_US.UTF-8'
with 'LANG="en_US"'.  Or by removing the i18n file completely.

I'm not sure why RedHat would come with such a basic thing misconfigured.
