techo compares signed char to '\x20'. Any character with code less then '\x20' is treated as control character. This way characters with MSB set to 1 are considered control characters too. Also this patch makes techo display DEL character as ^?. To reprocuce the bug, enable echo mode using printf '\e[12l', then type DEL character or any non-ASCII character.
