But take care that you don't have conflicting locale settings.
Please check the output of the command "locale" after you do
the above. It is not allowed to have settings like 

    mfabian@magellan:~$ export LANG=it_IT@euro
    mfabian@magellan:~$ export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GB2312
    mfabian@magellan:~$ locale
    LANG=it_IT@euro
    LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GB2312
    LC_NUMERIC="it_IT@euro"
    LC_TIME="it_IT@euro"
    LC_COLLATE="it_IT@euro"
    LC_MONETARY="it_IT@euro"
    LC_MESSAGES="it_IT@euro"
    LC_PAPER="it_IT@euro"
    LC_NAME="it_IT@euro"
    LC_ADDRESS="it_IT@euro"
    LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT@euro"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT@euro"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT@euro"
    LC_ALL=
    mfabian@magellan:~$ 

because it_IT@euro uses ISO-8859-15 encoding and zh_CN.GB2312 uses
GB2312 encoding. See

    http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap07.html

for why this is not allowed.

Therefore I recommended

    LANG=it_IT@euro
    LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8

If you press return, you will indeed get the pinyin inserted. But with
the number or space you should get I get the Chinese characters
inserted. At least it works like that for me.

To test whether the font settings of your terminal are correct,
type

    LC_ALL=zh_CN.GB2312 date

or

    LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 date

(depending on whether you use UTF-8 or GB2312). You should see the
date in Chinese, like this:

    mfabian@magellan:~$ LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 date
    五  9月  5 23:26:56 CEST 2003
    mfabian@magellan:~$

But both mlterm and rxvt should use correct fonts by default.
