Bug#854149: libvte-2.91-0: x-terminals not properly compose unicode characters

[Alessandro T.]

Package: libvte-2.91-0
Version: 0.46.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

if I run

echo -e '1\u03362'

in xfce4-terminal (or other terminals that depend libvte), I get simple
1 and strikethrough 2.
Instead in xterm I get strikethrough 1 and simple 2 (the correct rendering).
