Normally this control sequence follows the VT220 convention, which encodes the string in ISO-8859-1 and allows for an 8-bit string terminator. If xterm is started in a UTF-8 locale, it translates the ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 to work with the X libraries which assume the string is UTF-8. However, some users may wish to write a title string encoded in UTF-8. Set this resource to ``true'' to allow UTF-8 encoded title strings. That cancels the translation to UTF-8, allowing UTF-8 strings to be displayed as is. The default is ``false.'' > Could you please take care for it? > > Thanks Best Regards, > > Patrick > > [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug51754 -- Thomas E.
