Bug#458432: xterm does not display Unicode glyphs beyond \uFFFF

The oldest known script is sumerian cuneiform.
I searched for free fonts and found George Douros fonts
which were included in Debian after an wnpp.
Fortunately the fonts use Unicode encoding
which I prefer since I studied in Japan.
According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_cuneiform)
sumerian cuneiform are included since Unicode 5.0.

Is it possibe to use this functionality in xterm?
