I am currently experiencing difficulty in writing text files containing
French characters on my OpenBSD 4.0 server via SSH.

On both the FreeBSD client system and on the OpenBSD server system I
have the following: 

~/.profile:

export LANG="C"
export LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"
export LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"

~/.inputrc:

set convert-meta Off
set editing-mode emacs
set input-meta On       
set output-meta On

Note that I am contacting the FreeBSD system from a Ubuntu Linux box.

On that system I have the same ~/.inputrc file but instead of
~/.profile I am using ~/.bashrc:

export LANG="C"
export LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"
export LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1"

All three users are using the bash shell.

The accented characters (ex: i) end up as question marks.
