NAME
       uxterm  - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environ-
       ments

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 char-
       acter 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.
