xterm will only accept characters valid for the encoding it uses.
By default, that encoding is ISO8859-1.

The letters with acute happen to also exist in ISO8859-1.  The ones
with hacek don't.

You want to run "xterm -en ISO8859-2".

Don't.  This only adds to the confusion because xterm will continue
to think it uses ISO8859-1 but actually display -2 glyphs.
