Yes, it happens with Skype, whose "trademark" symbol is displayed 
as `"b'. However, some other programs (e.g. Opera, when displaying Japanese 
titles) seem to work. There was a brief period when the Skype TM symbol was 
correctly displayed, I think shortly before I filed my bug.

Hi,

About a year ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding UTF-8
being incorrectly displayed in ion window title.
Did you reproduce this problem recently? If not, I will close this bug
in the next weeks.

Thanks,
Brice

Bug#364014: libx11-6: UTF-8 incorrectly displayed in ion window title

[Reuben Thomas]

Package: libx11-6
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal

I thrashed this out with ion's author, who, when I asked what bug I
should file, said:

"Something about Xmb drawing routines routines substituting high
characters for two ascii characters in utf-8 locale with some fonts."

For the record, it doesn't seem to matter which font I use, but in ion
window titles, the (TM) character is drawn as "b, (quote-b), which
happen to be the third and first characters for UTF-8 (TM)
respectively, when you AND them with 0x7f. (The second character anded
with 0x7f is 4).

In this csae I was using Skype, which was trying to display
"Skype(TM)". I checked that its atoms had the right type
(COMPOUND_TEXT for WM_NAME and WM_ICON_NAME).
