If it is relevant to this discussion, please tell in what way; until now, only latin-1 seemed to be relevant. Are you saying that Emacs sends utf-8 encoded characters to aterm? Anyway, it's probably hight time to look at the codes sent by Emacs. Please use the "M-x open-termscript RET" command to cause Emacs to write all terminal output to a file as well as to the screen. Please do that in xterma and in aterm with the same text that includes accented characters, and then tell what codes you see in the two termscript files created like that (the Unix command "od -c FILE" will show the character codes stored in the named FILE). Also, please type "M-x describe-language-environment RET" in an Emacs running with the -nw switch in xterm and in aterm, and post here what Emacs says about each of these two cases.
