NAME

       uxterm - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environments

SYNOPSIS

       uxterm [ xterm-options ]

DESCRIPTION

       uxterm  is  a  wrapper  around  the  xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the “UXTerm” X
       resource class set.  All arguments to uxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class  and  -u8
       options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper.  See the xterm manual page for more
       information on xterm-options.

       The environment's locale settings (see “ENVIRONMENT” below) are used to discern  the  locale's  character
       set.   If  no  current  locale can be determined, the locale “en_US” (the English language as used in the
       territory of the United States) is assumed.  The locale(1) utility  is  used  to  determine  whether  the
       system  supports  the  selected  locale.   If  it does not, uxterm will exit with an error and report the
       output of locale.

       Note: uxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is  set  to  one  in  which  the  UTF-8
       character  encoding  is not supported, or if fonts using the ISO 10646-1 character set are not available.
       In the Debian system, the “xfonts-base” package provides the fonts  that  uxterm  uses  by  default.   To
       change the fonts uxterm uses, edit the /etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm file.

       A similar wrapper, koi8rxterm(1), is available for KOI8-R environments.

ENVIRONMENT

       LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
              The  values  of  these variables are checked, in order, to determine the character set used by the
              current locale.
