It's more likely that your locale has changed to use UTF-8 encoding,
and that (unless modified via resource setting) xterm's title strings
are ISO-8859-1.
man xterm
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.''
