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.
