Package: xterm
Version: 210-2
Severity: minor
Unicode characters generally render properly in my xterm, using
LANG=en_US.UTF-8, however I just noticed a glitch. When U+2218 is
rendered in some colors, it turns into the dashed box that usually
denotes a bad character. To reproduce:
- start vim in an xterm, with LANG=en_US.UTF
- enter insert mode and type the sequence
ctrl-V u2218
You should see a nice function composition symbol, U+2218: ∘
- Now colorise it by typing ":set ft=mail" and then entering "> " before
the symbol. When it changes color, it turns into a dashed box.
If I cut and past it into another application, it shows up correctly as
a function composition symbol, so xterm clearly still knows what it
should be; it just doesn't render it properly. Also, I don't see the
same problem with most other unicode characters, but it does seem to
afflict others in the same range.
