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 /usr/local/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.
