The xterm here does not display the characters properly, but at least the
columns order is ok

vim within this xterm does not work properly as well - the characters change
below the cursor, while there's garbage at the end of the line. So utf-8 is
even more broken for right-to-left, compared to the "simple"
8-bit-character-trouble which is still around...
