Where? For your whole system in /etc/sysconfig/i18n or in /etc/fstab?
Have you read the Release Notes about that?

I think they are not running unicode by default, are they? 

You can try different locales on mounting. E.G. what I have to do is

/dev/hda9  /mnt/daten  vfat  defaults,utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000  0 0
                                      ^^^^
for more options like "codepage" or "iocharset" see
# man mount.
