UXTERM(1)			 X Window System		       UXTERM(1)

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  man-
     ual 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  deter-
     mined, 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 us-
     ing 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  /usr/local/lib/X11/app-de-
     faults/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.
