I addressed this in a different way, a while ago:
Patch #225 - 2007/3/24
* improve select/paste between UTF-8 and Latin1 xterms by adapting
the translations from [379]patch #185. Extend that to include
Unicode fullwidth forms FF00-FF5E. Also modify select/paste of DEC
line-drawing characters in Latin1 mode to use ASCII characters.
