term/encoding problem

[Andreas Politz <politza@fh-trier.de>]

Hi,

I am trying to make debians aptitude work in M-x term.  The
problem is that it uses a unicode character, which emacs does not
display properly. It's this one

9618 (#o22622, #x2592)

, which looks like

▒

In term it is displayed as escape sequences and the tooltip says
'Untranslated unicode'. (describe-coding-system 'utf-8) tells me
that this character is outside it's supported range. But I can insert
it in a buffer with (decode-char 'ucs 9618) .

How do I make emacs display this byte sequence properly ?
