set-terminal-coding-system changes the coding system of the *current*
terminal, so it does not affect terminals you might create later
(e.g. with emacsclient).

You might like to use tty-setup-hook to run set-terminal-coding-system
after every emacsclient connection.  But a simpler solution might be to
make sure your locale is using utf-8, so that Emacs's terminals will all
default to using utf-8 as well.
