11 beta testing, the Unicode point U+925E switches between tofu outline and the glyph rendered as you choose from the sizes available in the XTerm context menu. The `enormous' option shows that glyph. Whatever is working for `enormous' if it could be selected for the smaller fontsizes helps to avoid the unexpected character loss. With help from the list I am able to have .Xresources tell UXTerm to use the NOTO fonts for CKJV (East Asia) as follows. UXTerm*faceName: Iosevka UXTerm*faceNameDoublesize: Noto Sans Mono CJK KR I will give the $HOME/.app-defaults/XTerm suggestion a try, thanks. -- vl
