		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.).

		837	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or

		840	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not

		851	should be a character not used by the strings.
		852
		853	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		854
		855	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\e<M-C-\|abc\|>
		856
		857	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

		862
		863	If I<string> takes the form of C<proto:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> is
		864	interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For example,

		949	commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
		950	C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
		951	C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new

		953
		954	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail

		965	Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
		966	them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not

		968	keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been

		987
		988	In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
