I assume your are talking about the names of the files and dir (and not
about the content). Check if the names contain correct UTF-8 encoding
with something like:

$ ls | od -t x1 | more

The have UTF-8 inside the xterm you need somethink like this:

Port xterm from the ports to get UTF-8 support:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/xterm
# make install WITH_256_COLOR=yes WITH_WIDE_CHARS=yes

Then you may use:

$ LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 xterm -T utf8 -fn 10x20  -sb -sl 1024  -cr blue
