vim 6.1 should handle UTF-8 or EUC for Japanese.

Oh, nobody mentioned but as I see Sarge ...
Debian xterm package also comes with uxterm program:
uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter
program with the "UXTerm" X resource class set.
UXTerm*VT100*font: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1
UXTerm*VT100*wideFont: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ja-18-120-100-100-C-180-ISO10646-1
This is nice font for Japanese.
