How did you set UTF-8? Normally you would use something like: en_US.UTF-8 for your locale. I don't know if what you describe is the proper UTF-8 collation order or not, but you can choose your collation order independent of your language. IAC, try setting either: LC_COLLATE which will change only the collation order. or LC_ALL which will change everything except language. to you locale/language without the: ".UTF-*". For example: LC_ALL=en_US On my system this is set in: "/etc/profile.d/*lang.sh" but a distro may set it up differently. Some times there is an issue with the order that the 'profile.d' scripts are executed and you might need to rename: "lang.sh" to "Alang.sh" so that it is executed/sourced first. You will have to restart your KDE session for this to take effect in KDE, and reboot your system for it to take effect at the console. Google is your friend.
