Initially, LANG was unset and LC_CTYPE="C". The character encoding was
US-ASCII. I changed these variables (i.e., LANG, LC_CTYPE and locale
settings) to en_US.UTF-8. Then the ? changed to Â. So, looks like you
are on to something. I will check this with OpenBSD community as well.

In Xdefaults, I have set XTerm*utf-8 setting to true as well.

Unlikely to be a problem with the font. I'm using DejaVu Sans Mono,
which I used on Linux in the past without any problem.
