No, I meant basically random characters.  Question marks would be
better.  Maybe something has changed; I can't check at present.  I
can't remember how it is (or was) and what cleanup was rejected, but I
think the encoding of text sent to the menus was wrong, at least.

If it worked, it would depend on the locale, the fonts used, and how
coding conversion was done.  I wrote something about it on TODO.

I think it would be best to fix tmm to DTRT and fix the menu code so
that you can bind a string as a command like you'd expect.  (The idea
was to make this effectively, or actually, an input method.)  The
error message you get binding a string is clearly wrong, at least.

Anyway it's moot if rms won't accept multilingual menus.
