rebuild
Comment 2 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-17 04:46:22 UTC 
rebuild ncurses with unicode support
Comment 3 Alexander Simonov 2005-05-17 10:24:40 UTC 
May be are you have ncurses without unicode support, but have unicode flag in 
USE variable.
Try rebuild or upgrade your ncurses library.
