Accented characters

Hi,

The problem I'm having might not have anything to do with GForth, but let's see. I'm running GForth on a Raspberry Pi (Linux).

I have a GForth program (notification.fs) that sends notifications to my cell phone. The problem I have is that it replaces accented characters (à, è, é, etc.) with question marks but only if I run it from the command line , like:
                 GForth notification.fs

What the file notification.fs does, is compile the necessary words, the main one being SendNotification, and the last line sends a message, like:
                 s" àéèeeeee"  SendNotification

If I run it from the command line, it replaces the accented characters, but if I start GForth first and paste the content of notification.fs, it works perfectly.

Even weirder, if I 'redo' the last line right after running it from the command line, it works!

The character encoding is UTF-8. I tried with ISO8859-1, with the same result.

Any idea?

Thanks
