I have run into a similar problem. I have not found a solution yet,
maybe because I did not look too hard. :-)
However, here's an exceedingly cheap trick that may work. Run Emacs
in terminal mode (-nw) mode. Open a new buffer in a new window and
set its input method to the one you want. Now copy-paste the text you
want into the new buffer using the mouse and voila!
I just checked it here and it worked, sort of. I have an Emacs
running in a Putty terminal window and I was able to turn text into
Cyrillic (Koi8-r, if you care) by just pasting from one window to
another. (Accidentally picking up already encoded text and pasting it
produces spectacular gibberish.)
I would love to know of a nicer way of doing this.
Cheers,
