If you ever wonder how to test this (like I did), just do:
Eterm --mencoding big5 --mfont "-kc-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-big5-0"
then cat a Big5 encoded file.
Eterm is a color vt102 terminal emulator for X Window system.
It supports pixmap and pseudo-transparent background. It also
supports Japanese input with XIM (X Input Method) protocol.
This version also adds BIG5 and GB support.
Thanks to MANTANI Nobutaka <nobutaka@nobutaka.com> for the patch.
