You need a UTF-8 compliant locale, in order to render special characters.
The way to do so might vary from distribution to another, but an easy way
to verify that your locale is set correctly is to run the following command:
----
$ locale
----
The output should look similar to the following (with eventually another
language set instead of `en_US`):
----
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

You can also run the project's test suite, which should display errors if
your locale doesn't support UTF-8 rendering:
----
$ cd kakoune
$ make test
