Same on Fedora 10, and everything ought to already be UTF-8:

$ set | grep LANG
GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
$ ./stringsample | grep "The string"
The string 'cr?me br?l?e' is 12 characters long and is stored in 15 bytes
$ file stringsample.vala
stringsample.vala: UTF-8 Unicode C++ program text

I've tried opening the file in gedit and saving it as UTF8 to be sure;
this is on gnome-terminal. Any idea?
