Hmm. Is it possible tsql would ignore the client charset as  
configured in freetds.conf even when you correctly use the -S option?
It appears it prefers getting the client charset from your locale  
settings.

So you should try:
LANG=en_US.utf-8 tsql -S servername

Anyway, tsql is only really intended to be a first test to check that  
your FreeTDS installation is working.
