The Linux verion of mozilla implement it so it can copy/paste with the recent version of xterm w/o problem
Notice that UTF8_STRING is defined AFTER X11 R6 ICCCM.
See the spec in http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/UTF8_STRING/ for details

After searching far and wide and reading all the HOWTOs etc. I'm still at a loss as to how to make a simple copy/paste work within xterm and between xterm and XEmacs.If I cat a utf-8 encoded XML file containing Russian and it displays just fine. If I select a single word by left double clicking and paste with a middle click I see a mixture of '@', '^' and a few Cyrillic characters. If I paste into XEmacs 21.4 in a buffer with the buffer file coding system set to utf-8 I see a string of '?'. Interestingly I can paste the selection into Windows Notepad and Word and it displays just fine too. Am I missing something very basic in my configuration/setup or is this a known problem? I'm wondering whether my X server is not up to the task or perhaps are there some x resources I should be setting? I am running the xterm XFree86 4.2.0(165) that comes with Linux Redhat 8 with display support from Hummingbird eXceed X Server 7.1 on Windows NT 4.0 and XEmacs 21.4 (patch 8) "Honest Recruiter" [Lucid] (i386-redhat-linux, Mule) of Mon Aug 26 2002 on astest.
