After upgrading xfce's Terminal from terminal-0.2.12 to 0.4.0 the terminal stopped displaying german umlaut characters. Now I get only '?' for any of them. Also filenames with that characters are not displayed correctly. For other console and X apps there are no problems. Downgrading terminal to 0.2.12 again fixed the problem.
I cannot reproduce your problem. Please post the output of emerge --info x11-terms/terminal and the output of locale to this bug.

I had same problem here on two further x86 systems. All works fine with the old terminal-0.2.12.
Does it work with de_DE.UTF-8 locale?
No it had not worked with that locale. But.... After downgrading to 0.2.12 and now upgrading to 0.4.0 again it works as it should. I am not quite sure where I made my mistake the first time, but I think we can close the bug as INVALID now.
