+.SH NAME
+uxterm \- X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environments
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B uxterm
+[
+.I xterm-options
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B uxterm
+is a wrapper around the
+.BR xterm(1)
+program that invokes the latter program with the \(oqU__default_class__\(cq X resource
+class set.
+All arguments to
+.B uxterm
+are passed to
+.B xterm
+without processing; the
+.B \-class
+and
+.B \-u8
+options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper.
+See the
+.B xterm
+manual page for more information on
+.IR xterm-options .
+.PP
+The environment's locale settings (see \(lqENVIRONMENT\(rq below) are
+used to discern the locale's character set.
+If no current locale can be determined, the locale \(oqen_US\(cq (the
+English language as used in the territory of the United States) is assumed.
+The
+.BR locale(1)
+utility is used to determine whether the system supports the selected
+locale.
+If it does not,
+.B uxterm
+will exit with an error and report the output of
+.BR locale .
+.PP
+.B 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 \(oqxfonts\-base\(cq package provides the fonts
+that
+.B uxterm
+uses by default.
+To change the fonts
+.B uxterm
+uses, edit the
+.I __apploaddir__/U__default_class__
+file.
+.PP
+A similar wrapper,
+.BR koi8rxterm(1),
+is available for KOI8-R environments.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B LC_ALL\fR, \fBLC_CTYPE\fR, \fBLANG
+The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the
+character set used by the current locale.
