    sorry - I haven't gotten back to xterm, have been spending most of my time
    in ncurses to prepare a new release.

    I seem to remember that xterm doesn't handle code points past U+FFFF,
    unless something's changed in the last few years.

    Cheers,

    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.
