Public bug reported:

Hallo,

A similar bug has been described (and repaired) earlier. See

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-freefont/+bug/1070669.

I first encountered this typographical error on the website of Wikipedia
(using the Firefox web browser)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes

when looking at the table representing ASCII control characters.

U+240e ␎ Shift Out should probably be represented by `SO' and not `SS'.
See for reference (as in the report referred to above) the following
document on the Unicode website

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2400.pdf.

This typographical error also seems to appear in other programs such as
Libre Office Calc, the xfc4-terminal, chromium-browser. I am guessing it
is visible in most, and possibly in all programs.

Kind regards,
Michael
