If you manage to tell gtk+ to use the right font,
and you have the right locale set, Thuban can even display Japanese 
characters, encoded as unicode in utf-8. See the screenshot.

I've used a locale of de_DE.UTF-8
and set the default gtk Font to one containing most unicode characters.
(It probably depends on the gtk+ version.)

For this I've added the following lines to my ~/.gtkrc:

style "default-text" {
       fontset = "-gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1"
}

class "GtkWidget" style "default-text"

This is GNU/Linux Debian with Gtk+ 1.2.10.
