I think this is _locale_ problem. When you are in xterm, try switch keyboard 
layout (try both Shift keys, CapsLock etc.)
Also, go to console (Ctrl_Alt+F1) and login in text mode. Then check your
shell startup scripts (~/.cshrc ~/.login  ~/.profile etc) aand comment out
all locale specific stuff (like setting LANG variable)
If there are no LANG in your startup scripts, then _add_ 'setenv LANG C' 
(without quotes) or Bourne shell equivalent (export LANG=C) to startup script.
Try xterm again.
