efaq: ExtendChar key does not work as Meta

 
 9.14 Why doesn’t my <ExtendChar> key work as a <Meta> key under HP-UX 8.0 and 9.x?
 ==================================================================================
 
 This is a result of an internationalization extension in X11R4 and the
 fact that HP is now using this extension.  Emacs assumes that the
 ‘XLookupString’ function returns the same result regardless of the
 <Meta> key state which is no longer necessarily true.  Until Emacs is
 fixed, the temporary kludge is to run this command after each time the X
 server is started but preferably before any xterm clients are:
 
      xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Mode_switch'
 
    This will disable the use of the extra keysyms systemwide, which may
 be undesirable if you actually intend to use them.
