It does.

But according to xterm-237-2.cygport, it is configured
with "--enable-luit --enable-wide-chars". man xterm(1)
says in the description of "-u8",

"This option and the utf8 resource are overridden by the 
‐lc and ‐en  options  and  locale resource.  That is, if
xterm has been compiled to support  luit,  and  the 
locale  resource  is  not
‘‘false’’ this  option is ignored."

So, "-u8" will be ignored without proper options. Try
either:
1. xterm +lc -u8
2. xterm -en UTF-8
3. or use cygwin-1.7 with proper locale settings.

Start bash and say,

perl -we 'binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8"); print(pack("U*",
12371, 12435, 12395, 12385, 12399, 32, 50504, 45397,
54616, 49464, 50836, 63, 32, 20320, 22909));'

This should print "hello" in Japanese, Korean, and
Chinese.
