title: Why doesn't my terminal output unicode characters properly?
body: <p>For example, my terminal does this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ echo -e "\xE2\x98\xA0"
  ���
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expect it to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ echo -e "\xE2\x98\xA0"
  ☠
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why? How do I make my terminal output the proper unicode symbols?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Gnome 3's Terminal on Arch Linux.</p>
  
  <p>The output of <code>locale</code> shows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>LANG=C
  LC_CTYPE="C"
  LC_NUMERIC="C"
  LC_TIME="C"
  LC_COLLATE="C"
  LC_MONETARY="C"
  LC_MESSAGES="C"
  LC_PAPER="C"
  LC_NAME="C"
  LC_ADDRESS="C"
  LC_TELEPHONE="C"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
  LC_ALL=
  </code></pre>
