Strangely my terminal has funny characters in the date area that look like Russian. Does anyone know why it displays these characters?

(I'm running Mac OS X Lion)

    Why is Russian output in contradiction with having Mac OS X Lion? Is it a specifically non-Russian OS?

    Maybe your locale is somehow set to Russian? Does it change to English if you issue the command LC_ALL=C ls -l?

Turns out I had a line in my .bash_profile that was setting my LANG to russian. Must have been from a bad copy and paste job from somewhere!
