Hi, it seems to be font-related. I use a non-standard font (see below), removing the first xterm resource (so using the default font) makes the echo display the correct character. So it seems xterm (or Xorg?) doesn't handle missing characters that well? Or would there be something wrong with the font. On second thought, I found it peculiar that I didn't have these problems a while back, and quite often now. This might be related to my recent switching to xfs / xfstt. I'll try switching back to Xorg serving fonts and see what happens. Btw, the font I am using for xterm is in the xfonts-terminus package. Gr. Matthijs > That works fine here. What's the output of 'appres XTerm' and 'locale'? matthijs@xanthe:~$ appres xterm xterm.vt100.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1 xterm.vt100.background: black xterm.vt100.foreground: grey matthijs@xanthe:~$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
