When I execute in the UTF-8-mode xterm [XFree86 4.0.1h(149)] of Red Hat 7.1 in a shell the line printf '\x1b(0' then xterm changes the Unicode values U+0020 to U+007E to the DEC graphics character set, even though it is supposed to ignore ISO 2022 sequences while being in UTF-8 mode, because UTF-8 is one of the "encodings outside ISO 2022" in the sense of ISO 2022. Has this bug been fixed in more recent versions of xterm? Markus -- Markus G.
