Setting UTF-8 works for me using PuTTY 0.53b. In the "Translation"
section of PuTTY I have:
Received data assumed to be in which character set: UTF-8
Adjust how PuTTY displays line drawing characters: Unicode mode.
IIRC the UTF-8 is the only change from default. Make sure you make this
after picking a session etc. or else it will get reset with the data from
the session.
