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.
