Gnome-terminal doesn't want unicode

[thomasvk]

Past week I have been experimenting with enabling UTF-8, but not without problems. I have a Unicode test file and it works in almost all applications, but not in gnome-terminal. If I 'cat' it, I see a lot of blocks. It works in Konsole though and I have set the exact same font (Bitstream Vera Sans Mono) but it still is only blocks. I works in a few other Gnome applications (Gedit, for example) but not in Epiphany (not that I use it). It even works in plain xterm.

Is "Terminal > Character encoding" set to UTF-8? The file works fine for me by the way.
