Where did you get these characters from? 0xc398 is UTF-8 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE' http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/d8/index.htm 0xc399 is UTF-8 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH GRAVE' http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/d9/index.htm
Both of these are one character in width, so if your terminal makes them something else that is two characters wide then tmux will not be able to draw the status line correctly. You'll have to hack the table in utf8.c to tell it they are two characters wide (and make sure UTF-8 is properly enabled in tmux of course).
