Did you check your emacs available coding systems:
C-x <RTN> f <TAB>

Scroll down to the bottom to make sure utf-8-unix is supported on your system.

What is LANG set to? (env var)

Do you have these problems locally when using sbcl?


When you list coding systems (M-x list-coding-systems) do you see:

 The supported Emacs character sets are:
   ascii
   eight-bit-control
   eight-bit-graphic
   latin-iso8859-1
   mule-unicode-0100-24ff
   mule-unicode-2500-33ff
   mule-unicode-e000-ffff

What coding system do you use when you start swank?
(swank:create-server :port 4005 :dont-close t :coding-system "utf-8-unix")?
