This has to do with the new default font and LANG settings used by Red
Hat. It's in the release notes.
The easiest fix I've found is to put these 2 lines at the _BOTTOM_ of
your ~/.bashrc:
LANG=c
export LANG
These lines have to go after the global functions that are called in
.bashrc because that's where Red Hat sets LANG by default.
