 =head1 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT
 Unlike the original rxvt, B<rxvt-unicode> stores all text in Unicode
 internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the

 such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might
 change.
 If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let

+me recommend C<mlterm>, which is a very user friendly, lean and clean
 terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
 because the author couldn't get C<mlterm> to use one font for latin1 and
 another for japanese.
 Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
