Hello Alex,

Neither -U nor defutf8 nor both work.

Debian Sid with GNU screen 4.3.1-2 (Screen version 4.03.01 (GNU)
28-Jun-15):

    $ locale
    LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    LANGUAGE=
    LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE=C
    LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=
    $ cat screenrc
    defutf8 on

    $ screen -U c screenrc

    [ inside screen ]

    $ cat test
    äöüß
    $ file test
    test: UTF-8 Unicode text

    ^a:hardcopy copy

    $ file copy
    copy: ISO-8859 text

The hardcopy file is not in UTF-8 as I would've expected, but
instead ISO-8859-1.

Same result with just the above locale and no -U nor defutf8.

Regards
Simon
