Hi,

I don't know any Gentoo specific setting (I'm using Gentoo as well), but
I
have this in /etc/profile:
export LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=nl_NL.UTF-8

If a locale doesn't exist yet in a specific character set, you can make
it
with (in my case):
localedef -i nl_NL -c -f UTF-8 nl_NL.UTF-8

(I have the opposite situation: the nl_NL locale uses ISO-8859-1 by
default,
while I want to use UTF-8.)

Kind regards,
Elros
