It may be as simple as choosing a unicode font. I don't know if
you can choose what font to use, but if so pick one that supports
the unicode character set and set the language in your bashrc or
whatever.
There is also good ole 'xterm' and I saw an app called 'Terminal' in
extras, maybe that can work for you? I know xterm will be a PITA to
setup correctly, but it has options to cover just about every
scenario, find the options that work for you and then xset them.
