Wterm was not mentioned throughout the article, so I decided to test it
quickly.

Does not work. Code 33 is not implemented, according to the
documentation, code 50 is used to change font [specifying movement in
the terminal's font list].

Works.

echo -e "\e]2;whoo\a"
echo -e "\e[21t"

Changes window title to 'whoo', but nothing is pasted -> does not work.

It can be deduced that this does not work either, and a quick test
proved it.

Safe from this harm, over here.

Besides of a weird output from echo itself [as no all characters where
handled by the terminal], nothing.

The output is:	:]itd

As to wterm's origin, it seems to be based on rxvt

wterm started as a beta test of some additions Alfredo hoped to get
contributed to the official rxvt source tree.

Version tested: 6.2.9 - latest (even though released in 8/2001)
