Actually the Xutf8 extension is technically nothing else than:

orig_locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL);
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "UTF-8");
Xmb* stuff
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, orig_locale);

Besides this Xutf8 is rarely used because it is nearly
unportable in !Linux and !BSD environemnts (e.g. Sun, HP, AIX,
...).

Thus, I ask: are you sure you use a UTF-8 capable locale in your
setup?
