What do you use to ssh into console?

There is a fairly recent topic here on the B2 & B3 Support forum (some 3-4 months I think) that covers a similar issue with East European characters not displaying correctly.

Strange. I just did a quick search for "East European" in the form at the top of this page and found it instantly. The topic is named EE-Characters diacritics and the issue was with Putty.
