You can use insert-composed-char ZLE function; see man zshcontrib. 
Otherwise there are good chances that it will just work when you enter 
multibyte characters using OS supplied means.

Keep in mind that zsh will use whatever encoding is set by current 
locale; it does not convert to UTF-8 internally.
