Mystery solved.

If you check the characters output by subversion you get:

{U+306F} は
{U+4F5C} 作
{U+696D} 業
{U+30B3} コ
{U+30D2} ヒ
{U+30FC} ー
{U+3066} て
{U+306F} は
{U+3042} あ
{U+308A} り
{U+307E} ま
{U+305B} せ
{U+3093} ん

From https://codepoints.net

Which reads:

'/Users/carl' は作業コヒーてはありません

it actually should be:

'/Users/carl' は作業コピーではありません

but I suspect there are representation issues for compound glyphs and I just woke up so that part is left for later.

Basically it is the Japanese way of saying:

'/Users/carl’ is not a working copy

So svn is talking Japanese to you. It is not an encoding issue, it is a language setting issue.
