I've noticed that too quite a wile ago. Gnome terminal (and terminator) don't handle properly composing Unicode characters.
The first character in the attached file "french ipa signs" is composed of: <ɛ> Hex 025b + < ̃> Hex 0303 (utf-8 sequence: c9 9b + cc 83) (you can check that by the ga or g8 command in vim) 0x303 is a composing character so normally it should be displayed on top of the previous character. But gnome terminal does not do it properly. gvim does display it properly. -- gnome-terminal is handling wierdly french ipa nasal wowels signs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235883 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
