problems with utf8 chars

[Joakim Verona]

Symptoms:

utf-8 chars doesnt work in todays emacs.
they show up as empty spaces.

I tried emacs -nw --no-init
and typed some swedish chars =8e5=8e4=8f6.

swedish chars do work at the shell prompt.

im running this on a redhat fedora core 2 gnu/linux box remotely over
ssh using the putty ssh w32 client.
