    I've been playing around a little with some of the 16 bit fonts that
    we have for use with X11R4 on our cluster of Apollo Domain 3500's 
    and I would like to know how to specify a character as part of a
    string for something like a titlebar.

Unless the program was explicitly designed to deal with 2-byte/16-bit
glyph indexes, you can't do this.  R4 twm doesn't support this.  This
is just one aspect of internationalization support now being worked on
within the X Consortium.
