I have the same problem. When I copy paste text
from Firefox into Vim running in a terminal (xfce or
xterm at least), I get garbage for diacritics. If I do
the same in GVim (gtk2), it works fine.

Yet my settings in GVim and Vim (terminal) are
identical:

:set encoding?
encoding=utf-8

:set fileencoding?
fileencoding=

:set fileencodings=?
fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it used to work fine
a long time ago.

Example to reproduce:

1) go to http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim in Firefox

2) select with the mouse the first sentence in
Firefox which says:
"Vim est un éditeur de texte, c'est-à-dire un
logiciel permettant la manipulation de fichiers texte."

3) Paste in Vim (terminal) using the mouse (middle
click on Linux)

4) observe that it pastes:

Vim est un <e9>diteur de texte, c\u2019est-<e0>-dire un logiciel
permettant la manipulation de fichiers texte.

5) Do the same with gvim (gtk2) and observe that
there is no bug in Gvim

I also tried with the Chromium browser (same result).

The problem has to do with copy paste which loses
the character encoding I think and somehow makes
assumes the wrong encoding when pasting.

Typing Unicode characters works fine in terminal.
Copy paste from gvim into Vim (terminal) works fine.

I'm using vim-7.3.806 on xubuntu-12.10, Linux x86_64.
