Yes, this has been fixed with the release 4.2.0 in this commit:

Oh, and I can reproduce this issue with Screen as of git commit db59704 ("4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704") as shipped with Debian 7 Wheeazy. So, I consider it fixed with either 4.2.0 or .4.2.1.

I can no more reproduce this issue with GNU Screen 4.2.1 as shipped with Debian 8 Stable. Used test case:

printf '\xf0\x9d\x8d\x96\n'

as suggested in https://bugs.d ... ian.org/447336

It though depends a lot on the used terminal emulator. At least running Screen in gnome-terminal showed me the character U+1D356 (TETRAGRAM FOR FOSTERING). Running it in uxterm or urxvt didn't, probably due to bitmap-based fonts being used there.

Unicode characters beyond the basic multilingual plane are not displayed in Screen. I can use these characters (such as U-0002A700) in VIM and such without problems outside of Screen. I am using UTF-8 as character encoding every where.
