Thank you for reply.

I edited draw_iso2utf8() (in draw.c) to print client name(before conversion)
for debugging.
And it seemed to be already converted in UTF-8.
It seem no need to convert to UTF-8 at least on my system(Debian sid).
I applied this patch to skip iconv(), and client names are displayed at
statusbar.

I dont know about pango, so Im not sure this is correct.
Sorry if I misunderstand.
Another patch to display ASCII encoded name on non-UTF-8 environment:
