Nothing, CenterIM as well as CenterICQ doesn't support UTF-8. You'll have to switch to ISO-8859-15 or wait till CenterIM 5 is released (no schedule for that at the moment).
You may edit the configure script to build against ncursesw manually, but you will still experience strange issues (like an advancing cursor if you type 2-byte characters like umlauts, etc) and some translations may be broken. Another way is: try running CenterIM through a terminal filter. E.g "luit" should be capable of that. It translates all inputs to a program from UTF-8 to a given charset and does the same vice versa for program's output.
