address@hidden ~/temp $ cat foo.c
char *x = N_("Jean Br\xc3\xa9""fort");
address@hidden ~/temp $ cat POTFILES.in
foo.c

address@hidden ~/temp $ /usr/bin/xgettext --version
xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.18.3
[...]
address@hidden ~/temp $ /usr/bin/xgettext --keyword=N_
"--add-comments" "--directory=." "--default-domain=foo"
"--from-code=UTF-8" "--files-from=./POTFILES.in"
address@hidden ~/temp $ grep Jean foo.po
msgid "Jean Bréfort"

### That's "Jean Bre\'efort" in there.

With 0.19.6 we get...

address@hidden ~/temp $ xgettext --version
xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.19.6
[...]
address@hidden ~/temp $ xgettext --keyword=N_ "--add-comments"
"--directory=." "--default-domain=foo" "--from-code=UTF-8"
"--files-from=./POTFILES.in"
address@hidden ~/temp $ grep Jean foo.po
msgid "Jean Brßort"

### Instead of et e' we now have a German double-s.  And the f is gone.
