I'm having two (connected?) problems with unicode characters and (GNU) Emacs. The first is loading emacs to visit a file:
$emacs Kölsch&
There are a number of other environment variables that can be set: type "set", and take a look through. In particular, look at any beginning LC.
Hope this helps,
James.
