Package: pterm
Version: 0.58-1
Severity: wishlist

X11 allows you to bind Unicode characters to keys using xmodmap and
the Uxxxx or 0x0100xxxx notation.  When I bind something to a key this
way, it doesn't show up in pterm.  However, it works fine in xterm.

More information and how to reproduce this:

I initially thought that XFree86 in Debian doesn't support this, but
according to Markus Kuhn advice I tried to see what 'xev' had to say
and it showed the bullet.  I then compared xterm and pterm and while
xterm works pterm doesn't.

It would be great it you could add support for this to pterm.
