I solved the multilanguages problem in terminal with Roxterm. It is better for this than gnome-terminal because it lets you specify a default encoding, which I've set to utf-8. It is also easy to switch encoding with a right click. You can also save different profiles. I have one with a good font for chinese (wen quan yi) and one with default fixed.
After quite a few months of struggling I can now display and type anything I want in terminal.
I don't use a big desktop environment, I use ion.
I also managed to make SCIM work.
If you need more details, let me know.
