1. I wonder what proportion of the population prints things this way?
2. If the file is correctly encoded in UTF-8 and the above doesn't work, then your operating system is buggy. I print stuff with non- ASCII characters all the time on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh computers. Granted, I don't use "cat > /dev/anything" to do it.
