Garbled Text for Tree -- Ubuntu/Putty/UTF-8

I use putty at home to connect to my Ubuntu VMs for development and I was getting garbled output for tree.

fluong@ubuntu:~/pyjnx$ tree
.
âââ auth
â   âââ __init__.py
â   âââ __init__.pyc
â   âââ userpass.py
â   âââ userpass.pyc

I did some searching and found this solution: setting UTF-8 remote character set for putty.

Now everything is pretty and I am happy.

fluong@ubuntu:~/pyjnx$ tree
