X11 display server : X11.app on macOS "sierra"
I telnet into my Indy running IRIX 5.3, and start a winterm with display output to the Mac.
When I start to type into the winterm window, I get this:
Some special characters work (^L clears the screen, ^H erases, ^D closes the window), but most characters are echoed back as 3 character garbage. 'enter' is garbled as well. In the screenshot I typed "ls<enter>". The 'You have mail' text and the prompt string are good, so I think text output from the Indy is good.
What's happening here, is the Mac sending UTF to the poor old Indy?
NB: the Indy is running pretty stock IRIX 5.3, with ~ 40 patches (probably the recommended/required set), but no freeware, tgcware or other add-ons.

To accentuate the special identity of the IRIS 4D/70, Silicon Graphics' designers selected a new color palette. The machine's coating blends dark grey, raspberry and beige colors into a pleasing harmony. ( IRIS 4D/70 Superworkstation Technical Report )
