XLFD (bitmap) fonts are only 16 bits, but TrueType fonts are not.
xterm's used 32 bits internally for Unicode (with an option to
use 16-bits) for some time.  I added this option in 2009:

  --enable-16bit-charsenable 16-bit characters support

Enable wide-character support, but store only 16-bits for each wide
character.  Unicode values can be larger than 16-bits, up to 21-bits.
This uses less memory, but is less complete.  However, most languages
are covered by the 16-bit encoding.

Even if it only shows boxes..., select/paste should work, since that uses
the internal values.

I seem to remember that xterm doesn't handle code points past U+,
unless something's changed in the last few years.

sorry - I haven't gotten back to xterm, have been spending most of my time
in ncurses to prepare a new release.
