Terminal emulators and certainly all of those you've listed usually pass this on correctly unless they are explicitly configured (by the user or the application using them) not to (at least when in an UTF-8 locale). Since Emacs tries to use the full terminal capabilities you must have configured something that prevents this from being enabled by Emacs if it doesn't work for you. Note that some X kbd configurations take over Shift+Control (usually just for left or right) to emulate hyper or super, but that would cause Emacs to recognize these events instead, I'd think.
