character on kde console are wrong [closed]

Question

i'm using the KDE console (konsole) and when i compile foo.c (empty file) with the following cmdline:

gcc foo.c

I get the following error message:

foo.c:1:1: error: expected â=â, â,â, â;â, âasmâ or â__attribute__â at end of input

When i run the compile the same foo.c with this cmdline:

LANG=C gcc foo.c

i get the correct output:

foo.c:1:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' at end of input

But i can't figure out what's wrong on my system. Ideas?

What Ubuntu version are you running? I'm getting a different error when compiling an empty file x.c. Can you add the output of locale to your question?

It looks like a misconfiguration of your Konsole profile, which causes the output be interpreted as ISO-8859-1.
