# start minimserver-flac

# start minimserver-mp3
/home/pi/minimserver-mp3/autostart.sh

for the two instances I run.

I commented those lines out and ran manually as you mentioned, and I get the UTF-8 charset. The automatic start means the process is owned by root, which must explain the difference. So I need a better start up process.

The recommended approach is described in this post.

However, I'm not sure why you're getting US-ASCII when you start MinimServer as root. Does the root user on your RPi have a different locale setting? On my RPi, the root user locale is the same as the pi user locale.
