You have to tell xterm you want an utf8 terminal. I have in ~/.Xdefaults: XTerm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1 XTerm*utf8: true (the defaults are loaded on the X session start; use xrdb to load them at will) There are command line parameters for xterm for those, too.
