Description of Problem: The switch to UTF-8 locales have broken xchat completely, at least when choosing Swedish as default language. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose Swedish during installation 2. Start xchat 3. Join a channel and type Swedish characters (edv) while looking at the same channel with another client, say using Red Hat 7.3, where you will notice that the Swedish characters will be displayed as raw UTF-8 in ASCII. Also if other people use Swedish characters, they are not displayed at all in the limbo client.
the same applies for german characters.

Hm, does this mean that non-english speaking people won't be able to use IRC on the next release?
