[SLUG] localization

I picked LANG=C for my shell environment so files would sort according to
ASCII order, caps then lowers. But, non-ASCII characters such as ø
(o-slash) in "Bjørk" appear as ? (question mark). If I tab-complete a
filename, it is correct on the command line, but I can't type them in
bash/sh. I can make it look right in ls by choosing LANG=en_US, but then
sorting is all messed up, with caps and lowers sorting together. Is there a
middle ground where things look correct and sort correctly? Bonus if it can
be made to look right in Samba too.
