 > If I understand correctly, you're doing this programatically, in which
 case it won't work because Ḍ is not an ASCII character and is therefore
 illegal in a PHP file.

 UTF-8 strings are perfectly valid in PHP files, as long as the file is
 saved in UTF-8.

 > using either wp_insert_term or wp_create_category, an HTML entity
 representing the character must be given;

 I've just tried to run your examples on 3.3-trunk, and they work fine.
 Make sure your PHP file is saved in UTF-8 (without byte order mark).

 Note that you need to specify taxonomy for `wp_insert_term()`:
 {{{
 wp_insert_term( 'Ḍ', 'category' );
 }}}
