Are you running Emacs under X11?  If so, what's your locale?

I can display Latin-1 (my locale) characters in the frame title just
fine.  But characters from other charsets don't work.  

I haven't tried, but I suspect that if I changed my locale to, say,
Greek then Greek characters would work.

There's also an X resource, 'titleEncoding', which is supposed to say
which encoding is used in the title -- but Emacs seems to ignore that.
