It's your keyboard language setting...

Is it some sort of escape sequence command?
I've just realised that if you type that character even in Word, it does not
appear on the screen, until you hit the next character. (i.e. if not a know
sequence such as `a it displays correctly after the second character.)

It appears to be some sort of command to print "altered characters" such as
"A accent" or "I fadda".

So it appears to be a windows thing more-so than a putty thing. ( Perhaps
there is an option to disable it ?)

Also I have noticed that very often if I try to paste some text into a putty
session, it kills it?
Has anyone else seen this or is it perhaps related to the same problem.
