Setting up UTF-8 and getting home/end & word movement to work in Terminal.app, Tiger

While I know there are a ton of these available on the web already, I've not found anyone covering both setting up UTF-8 and getting Home/End working properly (as in, jumping to the beginning of a line and to the end of a line, instead of scrolling to the beginning and end of the buffer, which for some reason Apple thought was brilliant). I'm also going to cover how to get word movement (ctrl+arrow left/right) working, as well as getting backspace and forward delete functional.. This was all tested and is fully working even with SSH and GNU/Screen running. I'm using OS X 10.4.11 Tiger.
