gnome-terminal, system - how to set as UTF-8?

Hi guys... I noticed that there is a lot of Linux users here, so I'll take a chance here...

I recently (re)installed Ubuntu Drapper Drake, since it's the distro used on my university, but, instead of installing in portuguese (my language), I installed the "C" locale, aka, 'no' languages by default (Correct me if I'm wrong =] ).

I did this because in one previous installion, I installed English, as my language, then Portugal as my country.
When I tried to update, lots of things got broken.

Why? -> The system set my locale as EN-PT or US-PT... Which doesn't exists/makes sense!

So, now I decided to do what I typed first, but I noticed that virtually everything, including the terminal is marked as "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which I assume that it was the defaul chartset of the first C language release.

Guys, can you help me to put my entire system as UTF-8?

Thank you, in advance.

Good job, Linux. Maybe you should use an OS that makes sense. Microsoft sells some.

Please, he was using Ubuntu, the one distribution that is really looked down upon in the world.

As for >>1, I suggest installing Arch Linux, it will fix everything.  If you also install Opera (pacman -S opera) you will win.

lol, poor guy

4chan's tech support it's worst than dell's

Strange, I installed Kubuntu, set my country to Spain, and had no problems with it after upgrades and lots of packages installed. My character encoding is UTF-8.

Kubuntu, the K makes all the difference.  Gnome fucking sucks.

'hola', anonymous, op here... aparentemente o "K" deve fazer diferença...
