Subject: putty: fails to display unicode chars in title bar
Package: putty
Version: 0.58-4
Severity: minor

PuTTY does not display unicode characters correctly in the titlebar.
When charset is set to UTF-8 from PuTTY and locales on the remote
computer are en_US.UTF-8, unicode characters are shown as they vere
latin chars.

Example: zsh -c "print -Pn \"\e]0;ääää\a\"; cat" makes the titlebar
display "ääää" instead of "ääää". (ä is a scandinavian character)

I've noticed that this problem exists also in the windows version of
PuTTY.

First I thought that this might be problem with window manager but
then I noticed that for example urxvt+openssh and SecureCRT manage to
display unicode characters correctly in title (if title font supports
them.)
