Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Kernel 3.18-rc5 (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/?id=refs/tags/v3.18-rc5)

Pre-conditions:
----------------------
A Terminal is opened

Steps:
----------
1. Execute command: locale
2. Launch PowerTop with command: sudo powertop
3. Check tab "Overview"
4. Quit Powertop with [Ctrl] + [C]
5. Execute command: export LANG=en_US.UTF8
6. Relaunch PowerTop and check again


Actual result:
------------------
1. Command returns: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
3. PowerTop gives some durations in µs. "M-BM-5" is displayed instead of "µ"
6. "u" is displayed instead of "µ"

Expected result:
------------------------
"µ" is well displayed

Workaround:
--------------------
Execute command: "export LANG=en_US.UTF8"

Info
---------
I checked with PowerTop' maintener. It seems to be a problem with the locale codeset.
If needed, PowerTop installation:
1. Install packages: g++, autopoint, libpci-dev, autoconf, libncurses, libncurses-dev, libnl-cli, libnl-genl-dev, libtool
2. Clone sources: git clone git://github.com/fenrus75/powertop.git 
3. Compile and Install:
cd powertop
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
