Terminal really supports UTF-8?

The manual says Terminal "implements an UTF-8 mode" which I presume  
means that UTF-8 is on by default?
However I've had no luck getting it to work so far - only normal  
ascii characters get displayed properly, the rest are jibberish, but  
the kind of jibberish you'd expect from an app that is just  
interpreting the text stream as plain ascii.
  [Plus I'm using a unicode font that has all the glyphs I need (ie.  
I'm not seeing boxes) so it definitely isn't a font issue.]
Would anybody know how to get utf-8 working in Terminal? [Or at least  
confirm that this isn't supported!]
Thanks, Lee.
