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  charac-ter character
       ter 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 avail-able. available.
       able.  In the Debian system, the `xfonts-base'  package  provides  the  fonts  that  uxterm  uses  by
       default.  To change the fonts uxterm uses, edit the /usr/X11/lib/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.
