Nah. By default (at least on my installs!), CentOS will be set with
	declare -x LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

This means that most other applications will probably work ok with UTF-8.

PuTTY however doesn't default to UTF-8, which causes weird display corruption
when using screen. On a side note, the Mac OSX terminal isn't affected. It
handles UTF-8 by default.
