  I'd guess that the locale of the workstation is relevant here. Your terminal is going to be running in your locale (you didn't mention if was the system console or an X terminal, but I assume an X terminal), and so it won't know how to deal with UTF-8 sequences output by the commands you're running remotely.

  Probably your best bet is to either enable UTF-8 locally or disable it remotely.
