 =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
 world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
 especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
 like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
-like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
+like tibetan or devanagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
 scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
 fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are right-to-left scripts, such
 as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
 belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things --
 such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might
