First of all, xterm does not start in unicode mode by default, start it
with -u8 option or use wrapper uxterm.

Second, you need to specify correct font codepage for your font. I also
use Terminus.

What you want to add is this to .Xdefaults:

XTerm*utf8: 1
XTerm*font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*

Now you can start xterm and it will work as expected.
