Bug Description

Binary package hint: screen

The escape command I was using with latin-1 don't with utf-8 locale:

  $ screen -U -e '§½'
  Two characters are required with -e option, not '§½'.

(That's the section sign followed by the one-half sign, both on the key below ESC on my fi keyboard)

This is one of the last external utf-8 blocking problems for me.
