Mlterm seems to do the right thing there (if I understood the issue
correctly) and it's very easy to use and powerful; it can even run
input methods directly without setting XMODIFIERS etc and switch
between input methods on the fly (very neat feature when working in the
UTF-8 locale).

I use mlterm for everything that needs true i18n and xterm for
everything I still do in the Latin-1 world.
