		22	=head1 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT
		23
		24	Unlike the original rxvt, B<rxvt-unicode> stores all text in Unicode
		25	internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
		26	world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
		27	especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
		28	like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
		29	like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
		30	scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
		31	fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such
		32	as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
		33	belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things --
		34	such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might
		35	change.
		36
		37	If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let
		38	me recommend C<mlterm>, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean
		39	terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
		40	because the author couldn't get C<mlterm> to use one font for latin1 and
		41	another for japanese.
		42
		43	Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
		44	display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other
		45	programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able
		46	to choose any font for any script freely.
		47
		48	Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than
		49	it's predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy
		50	in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original
		51	rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.
		52
		53	It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean
		54	and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode
		55	without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with
		56	a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
		57	from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
		58	drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and
		59	@@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client).
		60
		61	It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have
		62	been extended) easier accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical
		63	reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).

		905	Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter
		906	hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will
		907	commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
		908	C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
		909	C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
		910	one.
		911
		912	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
		913	address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
		914	address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily
		915	by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>,
		916	followed by releasing the modifier keys.
		917
		918	=item 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method
		919
		920	This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
		921	your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
		922
		923	Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
		924	them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
		925	invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
		926	keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
		927	released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for
		928	C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a
		929	reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
		930
		931	=item 5.3: Screen-selection entry method
		932
		933	While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection
		934	mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map.
		935
		936	=item 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input
		937
		938	This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
		939	characters already displayed.
		940
		941	You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then
		942	pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
		943	hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
		944	pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>.
		945
		946	In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
		947	character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
		948	combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
		949	always be drawn using the built-in support font.
