Stty shows that iutf8 is enabled for me. I saw earlier in the thread you
verified your LC_ALL as being UTF-8, perhaps that or LANG is configured
on your filesystem but is not propogating to st due to some shell
configuration issue?

problem related with locales.
After fiddling with st's code for some time, I finally realized that
the problem could come from the way the tty was configured… And
indeed, the command “stty iutf8” solved the problem.
I hadn't thought of this because there was no such problem in the
other terminals I tried — and for good reason: they have “stty iutf8”
on by default! Couldn't st behave the same?
I hope this could actually be useful for others. If it's not possible
to have st automatically tell stty to use the iutf8 mode, then maybe
it's worth a mention in the FAQ.
