To see if you have enabled support for UTF8 in your terminal use:

    echo $LANG

You will get:
en_US.UTF-8

 or

    locale

You will get:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


To see all supported languages use:

    locale -a
    locale -m


To change your language and remove UTF8 support for your terminal edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n file and set LANG variable to en_US.

nano /etc/sysconfig/i18n

change LANG to
LANG="en_US"

There logout and relogin, and voila, no UTF8.
