When I type utf-8 chars, they don't appear in the editted file. For example,
if I type 'ç' (0xc3 0xa7), I get a message saying:
<a7> is undefined
this didn't happen with earlier versions (I'm using 2.2.24 to write this
message).
Zile doesn't support UTF-8 (or any other form of Unicode). When you send
0xc3 0xa7, Zile sees it one byte at a time. It turns out that isprint
returns false for 0xa7 in your locale, so Zile doesn't bind it to
self-insert. From my point of view, this is not a bug. I don't recommend
Debian's patching it; I suggest it be closed wontfix.
(Zile 2.2.24 and similar will get into trouble with UTF-8 characters that
include codes bound to commands.)
If you want to work around this problem, you can bind the relevant codes
yourself, or use an 8-bit locale.
