Please provide some minimal details about the GDB commands you tried,
and their results.  GDB is generally agnostic to encoding issues, it's
all just data for it, so I'm having hard time guessing what exactly
didn't work for your students.

In general, process-coding-system-alist is the feature you are
supposed to use to set up encoding for communicating with processes,
in case the locale's defaults aren't TRT.
