We should display the corresponding portion of the composite characte= r in reverse video, IMO. For example, in this example from etc/HELLO: =D0=97=D0=B4=D1=80=D0=B0=CC=81=D0=B2=D1=81=D1=82=D0=B2= =D1=83=D0=B9=D1=82=D0=B5 moving one notch forward from `=D1=80' (the 3rd letter) puts the curs= or on `=D0=B0' and should display in reverse video only the lower part occu= pied by `=D0=B0', moving one more notch should display the `=CC=81' accent= in reverse video, thus showing something reminiscent of a small cursor up on the accent.
