Have you tried to use "less" instead?
See above. I have tried three pagers: more, less, most. I thought that if the xterm had the proper and useable unicode font it should not be a problem. I have tried those three pagers, and they all yield the same result. I have tried uxterm and mlterm as well--same result. Please correct me if my font selection is way off.
