Default Non US-ASCII characters on console under ksh or bash

I've installed OpenBSD 4.6. Keyboard is properly configured ("es" in /etc/kbdtype), and while running vim I can use the special characters of my language (áéíóúüñ¿¡) without any problem.

However, at the command line, these special characters are shown only under csh, but not under ksh or bash.

What should I do to persuade these shells to work with those characters?

Thanks.

Default

At the commandline, try
Code:
set +o emacs-usemeta
That setting enables me to use the "weird" swedish characters (ksh shell).
