I am still working with Tiger and a rather old version of X11. I seem
to remember that I had a similiar problem in xterm – it "popped up"
one day. It was surprising. Could be this entry in ~/.Xdefaults cured
it:
XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^?
There is more possible with xterm ('man xterm', for example in GNU
Emacs, will show). There is also more support in GNU Emacs, C-h i
should lead to it, somehow. I don't remember much since I work almost
never in xterm – when X11 is running why should I launch GNU Emacs
without its own windows, as slave of an xterm?!

No. The standard ISO and Unicode encodings all start with the 128
code points from US-ASCII. I'd recommend to check the Xquartz-dev
mailing list (mailto:Xquartz-dev@lists.macosforge.org) at http://
lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/xquartz-dev. It's about the
new X11R7 based X server and X11 releases from Apple. There is also
the more general X11-users mailing list (mailto:X11-
users@lists.apple.com) at http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/x11-
users.
