I know this doesn't really answer your question directly, but could you 
try this on konsole (KDE terminal) and see if it helps you in any way?

My language is en_ca.utf-8 but I can type in indic scripts by switching 
the keyboard layout. The only problem I notice seems to be the accents 
on the top and bottom of characters in a couple of Indian languages.
