"\303\251" is a utf8 sequence (in octal) which maps to U+00E9 (é):
https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+00E9

DWM (and dmenu) deals specifically with utf8 IIRC. I'm not sure what
encoding those other two are using, but it's probably not using utf8
which is why it's not working.

Try to see if there's some settings in those application (or their
gui libraries) to make them use utf8.
