Also, please note that this is new behavior in Hardy.  In Feisty and
Gutsy, gnome-terminal handled UTF-8/Unicode input and output
correctly—e.g., not displaying diamond-question marks for UTF-8
characters, and not transliterating, ignoring, or mishandling Unicode
input by Unicode code point in the way that GNOME permits arbitrary
Unicode input.

In Gutsy, for example, you could press C-S-u 2122 and you would get the
trademark symbol (“™”), or C-S-u 3c0 and get pi (“π”).  Presently, you
get a transliterated trademark symbol (“(TM)”) and a question mark
(“?”), respectively.  This is a definite step backwards in an
international world…
