alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
--enable-unicode3
- enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
- multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per character
- from 2 to 4 bytes and is not too useful as font support in X11 and Xft
- is largely missing, although cut & paste will work correctly, as will
- displaying, if you have the right font(s).
+ enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic

+ extra characters, but Xft does.
+--enable-combining
+ enable automatic composition of combining characters into
+ composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
+ where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
+ done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
+ new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. Without
+ --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed characters
+ is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the
+ private use area, extending the number of combinations to
+ 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This
+ will also enable storage of characters >16bit. They currently
+ won't display properly, but they will paste correctly.
+ The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
+ forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want
+ these to be used.
--enable-fallback(=CLASS)
when reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback.
