Seems I have no success...
Did a
export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
and use
DejaVu Sans Mono Book 12
as xterm font.
Can enter, e.g. Σ with CTRL - SHIFT u 03a3 (or simply copy it in xterm).
For 1f512 , i.e. 🔒, still only a blank.
Anything else you specified maybe ?
I have xfce-terminal 1.1.1

This is probably 'just' a font issue. For instance, I'm currently using
DejaVu Sans Mono on xterm and it renders the lock icon for me, while on
emacs Julia Mono doesn't.
Make sure you have a UTF8 locale set too.
Does your version of xterm support UTF-8? Uxterm was originally the
version of xterm that supported UTF-8. That was a long time ago; on
my system, xterm now also supports UTF-8. Maybe on your system you
have to install uxterm.
xterm on OpenBSD definitely supports and has utf8 enabled.
