demonstrate problems with ee. 

In my most recent test, with ee in FreeBSD-CURRENT, I can get the editor to
accept Unicode input for basic Latin characters, for example: 

    a
    b
    c
    d
    e

– however it misrepresents non-basic characters such as:

    é    (U+00E9) Latin small letter e with acute
    …    (U+2026) horizontal ellipsis
    €    (U+20AC) Euro sign.

The editor also fails in response to non-Unicode methods, and paste.
