Hey Dtux,
thank you for your patch.

I'm currently in the process of adopting the upstream, see the following issue if you are interested:

Because of compatibility I would prefer the patch added in Fedora:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/terminator/blob/master/f/bz-1573927.patch

It should avoid a hard dependency on utf8 as current encoding.

See the following links with the work to fix this:

* https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/pull/6

Regards
Markus
