SHELL text encoding OS X?

[Klaus major-k]

Hi friends,

i am currently using some shell commands, mainly "mdfind", to get a list of files.
But german UMLAUTS etc. are not correctly displayed.

i thought the shell output would be UTF8, but unidecode(listoffiles) produces lots of glibberish 8-)
-> Grabber fuÃàr Anyone.rtf

should of course be:
-> Grabber für Anyone.rtf

This even happens with LC 7dp7, but shouldn't right?

Anyway, what can I do win LC 6.6.2?
Any hints very appreciated!


Best

Klaus
