Web says - you should be able to set it with right-click/encoding/... then exit
and restart konsole; OR likely mismatch between one of:

$ cat .config/plasma-localerc
[Formats]
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8"
useDetailed=true

[Translations]
LANGUAGE=en_CA:en_GB:en

OR

$ cat .kde/env/setlocale.sh
export LANG=en_CA.utf8
export LANGUAGE=en_CA:en_GB:en

and profile: change and restart KDE.
