I think it means that you have to do one of two things - either set the system locale to one that uses UTF-8 or else set the environment variable in that program as explained in the README they mention.

To set the system locale, run dpkg-reconfigure locales as root.
or
To set the locale in the program... (do whatever it says in the README.)
