man xterm (resource settings):

       utf8Title (class Utf8Title)
               Applications  can  set  xterm's  title  by  writing  a  control
               sequence.  Normally this control  sequence  follows  the  VT220
               convention,  which  encodes the string in ISO-8859-1 and allows
               for an 8-bit string terminator.  If xterm is started in a UTF-8
               locale,  it  translates  the ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 to work
               with the X libraries which assume the string is UTF-8.
       
               However, some users may wish to write a title string encoded in
               UTF-8.   Set  this  resource  to  "true" to allow UTF-8 encoded
               title strings.  That cancels the translation to UTF-8, allowing
               UTF-8 strings to be displayed as is.
       
               The default is "false."
