This could be the result of an improperly set LANG variable. echo $LANG to see what it is set to. If it is *.UTF-8 that is possibly your problem. Also you might want to compile the kernel in run level 3. That will shutdown X and still have most other services running. That way you still have a multiuser system and I do not think you will really notice a speed difference. X is the big resource hog on most machines.
