<body><div>I use XQuartz's xterm, which, when used with default settings, locks when one of those characters comes up. That's one reason I switched the zmq* ports to use "0" (zero) instead of the null character. I know that this does not happen in Apple's Terminal.app, and I'm sure there's a setting I can put in place to have the xterm interpret these correctly. But, since by default the xterm does not, and I require xterm for my work (to get the display correct), and I'm guessing the average user doesn't set the xterm to handle these characters, then I try to keep from using them in my ports for anything that comes up under search or info. Any other location I think is fine. - MLD<br></div>

Also that character renders in various different ways (for cat, emacs, etc.), mostly erroneous, so it fails in the goal of communication if you get <span class="colour" style="color:rgb(80, 0, 80)"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px">Ã or ? instead of the desired character.</span></span></span><br></div>
