Setting UTF-8 works for me using PuTTY 0.53b.  In the "Translation"
section of PuTTY I have:

Received data assumed to be in which character set: UTF-8
Adjust how PuTTY displays line drawing characters: Unicode mode.

IIRC the UTF-8 is the only change from default.  Make sure you make this
after picking a session etc. or else it will get reset with the data from
the session.
