Issue #1042 states the following:
> Steps to reproduce:
> *name pet so that first (or only) character is non-ascii: example Ä or emoji.
> Most of the time the name is correctly shown.
> If new row starts with pet's name then character is not printed correctly.
The kludge for handling mixed glyphs and text shouldn't have been engaging
the special handling of the first character for anything outside of putmixed().
This should resolve that.
