You appear to have a mismatched locale setting. Where is the ANSI_X3.4-1968
charmap coming from? What is the output of `locale' and `locale charmap'?

I have no problems with this either in the console or GUI:

/tmp% touch últimos
/tmp% ls -l últimos
-rw-r--r-- 1 mark mark 0 Feb 3 15:12 últimos
/tmp% locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"

LC_ALL=
/tmp% locale charmap
UTF-8
