DESCRIPTION¶
bterm is a terminal emulator for the Linux framebuffer. It supports
multibyte locales and wide characters, in addition to basic terminal features
such as cursor positioning.

may also be specified normally in the environment. If a locale, especially
one with a different character set than the current locale, will be used
inside of bterm, it should be specified on the command line.

bf-utf-source package.
