Bug#341686: xterm cannot be started in utf-8 mode by default
Package: xterm
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
xterm -u8 does not start xterm in UTF-8 mode, nor does specifying
xterm*VT100*utf8: in ~/.Xresources make xterm start in UTF-8 mode by default.
Xterm can be switched to UTF-8 manually (control-rightclick) in both cases, but
I'd like it to be in UTF-8 mode by default. This is possible with xterm
version 200, but not with the current Sid version (202).
