The à corresponds to 0xC3 in iso-8859-15
and is the start of a 2 byte UTF8 character (£ in this case).
So it looks like one your local or remote systems terminal
is not in UTF8 "mode".
Make sure you have LANG=en_IE.UTF-8 on BOTH systems,
and are using software that supports UTF8.
Everything should be UTF8 these days.
There are no excuses.
