I am using 9.8 but I'm not sure if that's significant.

In vile everything UTF-8 works perfectly, in xvile it mostly does except
for the odd *entry* problems I just reported.

I have the following settings:-

    LC_COLLATE=C
    LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8
    LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

I can't rememember when/why I did that LC_CTYPE setting but maybe it
might help you.
