Actually, I've noticed this issue on freebsd for a long time too, vim  
can't copy Chinese correctly on xterm to other external GUI apps except  
xterm itself, I have to use xterm's mechanism for copying. Locale on both  
os(maemo and FreeBSD) are en_US.UTF-8, vim's option 'encoding' is set to  
utf-8 too.

I've reported the issue [1] before, don't know if the issue is related to  
vim or other apps.
