Xterm fails character sets test in vttest

I hadn't noticed the u+240D (will investigate that).

The '#' is a different case - it's due to a check added in the original UTF-8 changes in 1999/04/25,
to prevent xterm from translating Unicode to the National Replacement Characters (like ISO-8859-1).
I'll improve this combination - hadn't had my attention draw to it..

According to the changelog for version 236 of xterm, this bug should be fixed in that version. Doesn't seem to be in Debian yet unfortunately.

yes (I don't recall seeing it updated yet in Debian - checked the
package page and it's not there).

I'll try to get to it soon, but since we're frozen for release at the
moment, this hasn't been a priority.
