You might have some luck with gnome-terminal if you make
sure it is set to UTF-8 (terminal -> character coding -> UTF-8).

Presumably you will need UTF-8 support in both the kernel
(should be fine for a stock kernel) and in /etc/locale.gen
(that's on Debian).

My locale.gen looks something like:

 en_AU ISO-8859-1

 en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8

Then you run locale-gen.  Accented characters in mutt work
for me now, although I'm not sure how to create them directly
on the terminal.

You might have more trouble than this; I didn't have chars as
numbers like that, they were more just garbled characters or
sometimes question marks.
