Setting LANG temporarily in the shell will not be enough.  You need
to get your slackware system properly load fonts in a unicode way at
startup.  I think I remember slackware not being so good about it
<grin>.  Maybe it at least provides the unicode_start script, which
should manage to switch to unicode on the fly, but you'd have to run
after each boot.

In any case, it is not a brltty problem, the physical screen improperly
renders things too.
