When the UTF-8 mode is selected, xterm converts incoming keystrokes to UTF-8. Presumably you did not modify your locale at that point, so the shell or other application is seeing an unexpected character. The 0xa4 for instance is entered as 0xc2 0xa4. Without more information, this sounds like expected behavior. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
