Hrm.  Perhaps I should have chosen words more carefully.  I have not used
a previous version of xterm before.  Previous versions which I have used 
did not support such characters.   Sorry if I had confused anyone.

I read the manpage and it says the current xterm should invoke luit when
necessary.  Anyway even if I invoke it manually it is even worse, because
then the characters become garbled.

But anyway now that I check it has already been invoked automatically:

(from a rxvt window)

 glee@anakin ~ $ ps -ef | grep luit
glee      6168  6146  0 22:38 pts/669  00:00:00 grep luit
glee@anakin ~ $ xterm &
[1] 6170
glee@anakin ~ $ ps -ef | grep luit
glee      6171  6170  0 22:39 pts/673  00:00:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/luit
glee      6178  6146  0 22:39 pts/669  00:00:00 grep luit
glee@anakin ~ $ 


So, if that's true, does that mean it is luit related and not xterm related?
(if so then please reassign, thanks.)
