In your .Xdefault you set
XTerm*scrollBar: True
XTerm*utf8: 1
That's it, afaik. I don't use scrollbars, but I just tried it and saw
a scrollbar. Don't know how "real" that is;)
I know of no way to find out if the terminal supports UTF-8, I see no
%ENV being set.
If the .Xdefault lines above do not work, your xterm probably has not
been compiled for UTF-8 support (I don't remember what the default
xterm did). In this case you download source from
ftp://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm-150.tgz
(xterm.tgz is a symlink to current version.)
Compile it with configure option --enable-wide-chars. If you want bidi
support, you need patches from Robert Brady at
http://susu.org.uk/~robert/xterm/

This depends on what they have sent as their Content-Type. If they
sent "text/html; charset=utf-8", they need to configure their socket
to send UTF-8.
Thanks for the other answers, now I start understanding some more...
