You can have a look at tsm_utf8_mach_*() in:
https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/blob/master/src/tsm_unicode.c

TSM does already handle UTF-8 exclusively. And it shows one glyph for
each correctly or wrongly parsed UTF-8 character (which is at most
4-bytes). If that's not suitable for your use-cases, feel free to file
a bug-report at github.com or send patches.
