I'm still using dwm-4.7 and with the following two patches everything is alright for me (should be applicable to current dwm, too): http://www.cgarbs.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/dwm-mitch.git?a=blob;f=05_patch_dwm_mitch_utf8widechars.diff http://www.cgarbs.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/dwm-mitch.git?a=blob;f=02_patch_dmenu_mitch_utf8widechars.diff Both $ xtermset -title 日本語 $ { echo 猫; echo 犬; echo 何; } | dmenu are handled and displayed correctly by dwm and dmenu. I use the font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" in dwm and "-misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" in dmenu (should really be the same, I should add the "normal" to dmenu for consistency). I have _not_ crosschecked this without my patches, so this could be some kind of Cargo Cult worship :-) On the other hand, UTF-8 issue like yours come up in this mailing list from time to time...
