[zsh] cannot input non ASCII characters

When inputing non-ASCII characters (Chinese, for example) under command line, it becomes something like

ä½?

what is really should be printing is

你好

I've searched a little bit on this, and answer has always been "zsh has unicode support already after 4.3.1",
but how come it appears no so in 4.3.10 ?

Could this be a problem with your terminal?

hardly, cause I've also tried this with xterm.

Setting "setopt multibyte" and "setopt printeightbit" doesn't help as well.

So, it works fine in bash?
