Are you talking about the terminal in the desktop? I remember years ago it not opening, I'm not surprised it still isn't fixed

You have to change the locale to en_US.UTF-8

It does work, as it is the tty terminals.
I don't remember in which tty session the SteamOS x server is open (Basically, when "terminal session" it is launched) but you should got up to 7 other tty terminal sessions available, from F1 to F8.
Also, You should be able to launch a terminal from the desktop view too.
