koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments

koi8rxterm was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on uxterm, by  Thomas  Dickey.   The
       assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its operation.

koi8rxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the “KOI8RXTerm”
       X resource class set.  All arguments to koi8rxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and
       -k8  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 “ru_RU.KOI8-R” (the Russian language as used in
       the territory of Russia, with the KOI8-R character set) is assumed.  The locale(1)  utility  is  used  to
       determine  whether the system supports the selected locale.  If it does not, koi8rxterm will exit with an
       error and report the output of locale.

       Note:koi8rxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which  the  KOI8-R
       character  encoding  is  not supported, or if fonts using that encoding are not available.  In the Debian
       system, the “xfonts-cyrillic” package provides the fonts that koi8rxterm uses by default.  To change  the
       fonts koi8rxterm uses, edit the /etc/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm file.

       A similar wrapper, uxterm(1), is available for Unicode UTF-8 environments.

LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
              The  values  of  these variables are checked, in order, to determine the character set used by the
              current locale.
