No. Cat completely ignores the locale and simply dumps the file you specify to stdout (in this case, the terminal). This _happened_ to work simply because the file was already of the correct encoding. Jed must be smarter than this, and pay attention to the locale so that it works both on UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 terminals.
