I just built and tested mlterm after I saw this thread and this program
does work pretty nicely. UTF-8 support is fine. It is lacking in some
Eterm features, such as color tinting, but it has some strong points.
It will show images on background and allow background darkening (no
tinting like cmod in Eterm gives). At compile time, one can select
which library to use for making background images, such as imlib (the
verion 1) or gdk+ from Gnome. Tried both, could not see much difference.
mlterm has a very great GUI configurator. runs smoothly.
When started with no options, the mlterm is huge on my screen because it
is looking for some font i don't have. The terminal is twice as large
as expected and letters are "t h i s f a r a p a r t". If I start with
command line flags to tell it to use the old fonts, then it is OK.
I've certainly seen terminals that are worse. mlterm has big big
advantages over gnome-terminal because it allows many more command line
options (such as choice of background picture) and it also scales the
image with the terminal. It does support pseudo transparency as well
with shading (but, again, no tinting).

"mlterm" (http://mlterm.sourceforge.net/) probably supports utf-8.
from the man page (http://mlterm.sourceforge.net/mlterm.1.html):
