XLFD (bitmap) fonts are only 16 bits, but TrueType fonts are not.
xterm's used 32 bits internally for Unicode (with an option to
use 16-bits) for some time. I added this option in 2009:
--enable-16bit-chars enable 16-bit characters support
Enable wide-character support, but store only 16-bits for each wide
character. Unicode values can be larger than 16-bits, up to 21-bits.
This uses less memory, but is less complete. However, most languages
are covered by the 16-bit encoding.
Even if it only shows boxes..., select/paste should work, since that uses
the internal values.
