Ubuntu 20.04 would be pre-release (end of April), and as such doesn't affect "multiple users".
If there's a valid (not created by Ubuntu) bug, it would be in Debian, since Ubuntu provides
no improvements to any program that I work on.

I, too, have this problem. U+0054 is a "T", and in the normal XTerm logo there's a blue T at that location. I think Gnome does not handle this kind of icon and glitches out on the Unicode character

In focal you see the "0054".

In groovy you see a "T"
