12 uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter
13 program with the “UXTerm” X resource class set. All arguments to ux‐
14 term are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and -u8 options
15 should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper. See the
16 xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options.
17 The environment's locale settings (see “ENVIRONMENT” below) are used to
19 discern the locale's character set. If no current locale can be deter‐
20 mined, the locale “en_US” (the English language as used in the terri‐
21 tory of the United States) is assumed. The locale(1) utility is used
22 to determine whether the system supports the selected locale. If it
23 does not, uxterm will exit with an error and report the output of lo‐
24 cale.
25 Note: uxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is
27 set to one in which the UTF-8 character encoding is not supported, or
28 if fonts using the ISO 10646-1 character set are not available. In the
29 Debian system, the “xfonts-base” package provides the fonts that uxterm
30 uses by default. To change the fonts uxterm uses, edit the
31 /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm file.
32 A similar wrapper, koi8rxterm(1), is available for KOI8-R environments.

36 LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
37 The values of these variables are checked, in order, to deter‐
38 mine the character set used by the current locale.
