[Wien] wien2wannier with wien2k.14.1

[Peter Blaha]

It is a matter of taste how one wants to do it.

The UTF-8 character set has nice features with special characters, for 
instance displays z^2 really with a superscript "2".

On the other hand, when using   "putty"  from home, I had the same 
problem as you and unreadable characters appear as output and sometimes 
the messages are completely scrambled.

It should not affect basic functionality (except when you cannot read 
some help-instruction).
