I just did an experiment and was able to reproduce the problem.  I
think that you are running jed in a UTF-8 enabled terminal but you are
not setting your locale properly.  This means that jed does not think
it is running in UTF-8 mode.  What is the value of the
_slang_utf8_mode variable?  I suspect that it is 0.

Before running jed in a UTF-8 enabled terminal, set the locale via,
e.g.,

   setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8

Thanks,
