In particular there is this comment in the patch, which I do not recall
seeing anyone on this list discuss:

+ -Does not work on UTF-8 locales if you use vanilla XFree86 4.0.x/4.1
+  due to the inability of XFree86 4.0.x/4.1 of handling XLC_LOCALE
+  for UTF-8.  You need to replace XLC_LOCALE with Xlib-I18N one's or
+  replace whole Xlib with Xlib-I18N.  If you replace Xlib-I18N,
+  you can input any UTF-8 byte stream by IIIMF.
+  To do that you need internationalized X libraries.  Check the web
+    http://www.li18nux.org/cvs/
