Wow, this is an old bug report ... this can be closed as current versions of gdb are currently fine with printing UTF-8 strings, and probably have been for a long time.
Also, the comment about xterm is not true (anymore?): it treats UTF-8 encoded \u0080 through \u009f, not the raw bytes \x80 through \x9f, as the C1 controls -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
