Strange. I have: $ set | egrep -i 'utf|xterm' LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 TERM=xterm XTERM_LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8 XTERM_SHELL=/bin/ksh XTERM_VERSION='XTerm/OpenBSD(327)' and even with just this: $ xrdb -query xterm*precompose: false and TrueType enabled, then accents are not displayed and copy-paste does not work: I get an 'e' character followed by another character which is a question mark inside a circle.
