I may have misunderstood, but he did say character codes.
Windows has always been ANSI-based, with codepages to
define bytes 128-255. It uses unicode-16 in theory but that's
mostly under the surface. And UTF-8 is relatively recent.
The man page has this:
"lxterm - locale-sensitive wrapper for xterm"
But I have no idea what kind of support there is for locale.
It would have to be something like codepages, apparently
in /usr/lib/locale. So I was guessing that Flavio Bessa wants
support for a language that doesn't have a codepage installed.
