The original examples were not from Latin-1, and if I recall correctly,
the two applications you mention here are only for Latin-1.
I think a good start in addressing the question would be the document,
Unicode-HOWTO. For example, with respect to xterm, "Newer versions
(patch level 146 and above) contain support for converting keystrokes
to UTF-8 before sending them to the application running in the xterm,
and for displaying Unicode characters that the application outputs as
UTF-8 byte sequence. It also contains support for double-wide
characters (mostly CJK ideographs) and combining characters."
