beanshell always uses the platform default encoding. on linux, you 
could start the java-vm prefixed with something like 
LANG=en_US@UTF-8 , or you could try starting java with 
java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 which may work, too.

the FileReader uses the system default encoding for files.
new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file), "UTF-8");
instead should work.

sadly, the source(...) command and the methods in bsh.Interpreter
do not support an argument specifying the file encoding. i use 
something like this instead (careful, this doesn't close the
Reader in case of an Exception):

/** a replacement for source(URL url) with selectable charSet and closing the 
Reader afterwards */
var source(URL url, String charSet) {
    var in = new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), charSet);
    var out = this.interpreter.eval(in, this.caller.namespace, 
                  "URL: "+url.toString());
    in.close(); return out; 
}
