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 speci‐
       fied 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 lo‐
	      cale.
