It's because you used UTF-8, whereas you're probably used to
ISO-8859-15 or ISO-8859-1 in terminal.  Try replacing "UTF-8" with one 
of these above (I prefer UTF-8, because it allows me to use more than
just a couple of languages).

Also try looking at /usr/share/i18n/locales/ for ca_ES euro locale or 
similar.  Then, instead of the above command do this: 

  localedef -c -f ISO-8859-15 -i ca_ES euro ca_ES euro

(i.e. you'd use ca_ES euro for input, instead of ca_ES).  

I hope this will help!

I hope you were not offended there :)
