If you haven't already done this, set Putty in
Configuration:Window:Translation:Character Set to "ISO-8859-1" or
"ISO-8859-4".
If this doesn't help, check your system font (are the nordic characters
looking right on console?).
IMHO the best way is setting either locally or in i18n
LANG="en.US.UTF-8". This is what I prefer at least for the root account.
