This is mainly what I'm getting it. xterm is actively maintained these days, and what's more, its maintainer seems to really care about i18n issues. He's applied dozens of patches from Markus Kuhn, who's heavily into Unicode support on Linux. Indeed, AFAICT xterm is superior to or on par with the development pace of any other terminal program in use. This pace has been masked by the fact that most people don't know that you can get xterm separate from the XFree86 tree, which releases quite slowly. -- G.
