well... in principle, you could use luit (even in xfce4-terminal,
though it would be clumsy to start up).

OpenBSD has the (abandoned) xorg fork of luit,
which does list GB18030 for encoding, as you can see using

        luit -list

But to make it work, you'd have to have a workable LC_CTYPE locale.
Since it's not a prepackaged locale, you'd have to find some more
extensive documentation for mklocale.  This looks like a place
to start:
