Nothing useful can result from printing arbitrary control characters to a terminal. Some control characters are defined to have various effects on a terminal like gnome-terminal; for example U+000C FORM FEED behaves like a newline. For the rest, the only reasonable thing gnome-terminal can do is to display whatever placeholder is provided by your configured font, which is typically a rectangle with the codepoint represented in hex, something like this: |-----| | 0 0 | | 0 E | |-----| ... and in fact that is exactly what gnome-terminal does. This is behaving as designed, so I'm closing the bug. S
