It also is yes. Since XmbLookupString() has to return string in
locale encoding (and all standard input/output are done using
locale encoding), it must return string in UTF-8 in UTF-8 locale.
However, it must work under ja_JP.eucJP locale also. To achieve
this, clients has to use iconv() or wchar_t. In this case, since
VIM is already written to use Unicode, iconv() approach is much
easier than wchar_t approach.
In short, both of XIM servers and clients need modification.
