Either use an editor which supports UTF-8 (such as emacs or vim
with the necessary extentions, which I've never managed to get
right, or gedit-2, or Mozilla composer), and do the compose-e-'
thing, followed by an explicit "save encoded as UTF-8", or use
some kind of token to replace it (I ended up replacing all the
és with é in my html CV).

Afriad I don't know anthing about utf-8 xterm :) Sorry. You could
use some kind of utility to utf-8ise your iso-8859-15 document
(it would be trivial to throw such a utility together using the
glib2 api). Aside from that, I'm afraid I'm no help :(
Cheers,
Dave.
