Dear Maintainer,

xchm is showing boxes for unicode.
The xchm faq http://xchm.sourceforge.net/faq.html says its due to the wx

While that may be one explanation for the symptom you're seeing, it's not
the case here as the wx packages *are* built with --enable-unicode:

$ wx-config --list

Default config is gtk2-unicode-release-2.8

Default config will be used for output

Alternate matches:
base-unicode-release-2.8

Cheers,
Olly

I checked aven from survex-aven which uses wx and unicode characters display
correct there, we don't have reports filed against wx for such problems in
any other apps, and searching the BTS I can't find any filed against the apps
themselves, so this looks to be specific to xchm rather than a generic wx
issue. Hence I'm reassinging this bug to xchm.
