Codes in 128-159 are normally not considered printable: xterm is a VT102
(or VT220, etc) emulator. This is all documented for many years.
DESCRIPTION
The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window
System. It provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible
terminals for programs that can't use the window system
directly. If the underlying operating system supports ter-
minal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH sig-
nal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will use the
facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever
it is resized.
