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 ? -ap
