The encoding _is_ in the locale. Allowing the user to override it is
a design bug (de_DE@euro with iso-8859-1 isn't going to work ...).
Use the correct locale instead, there are different ones for different
encodings:
E199 kraxel ~# LANG=POSIX locale charmap
ANSI_X3.4-1968
E199 kraxel ~# LANG=de_DE locale charmap
ISO-8859-1
E199 kraxel ~# LANG=de_DE@euro locale charmap
ISO-8859-15
E199 kraxel ~# LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 locale charmap
UTF-8
E199 kraxel ~#
And, yes, of course xterm should start up in utf-8 mode if the locale
encoding is UTF-8.
