Rxvt-unicode or urxvt is a color VT-102 terminal emulator for the X
Window System. It was written by Marc Lehmann, who forked it from rxvt
in November 2003. Stability, internationalization and support for
Unicode is its primary focus, as well as the capability to display
different fonts and locales simultaneously.

Another goal of the project is to be resource-friendly like rxvt. Even
though it has features such as transparency, Perl extensions, and
support for Xft fonts, it can still be configured to be lean and
efficient, according to the author. Furthermore, it has a daemon mode
that reduces memory usage and startup time when using multiple
terminals.
