Urxvt unicode3 and frills
-------------------------
Make sure that, whatever urxvt package you're installing, both the `unicode3`
and `frills` features are enabled at compile time. Run
``urxvt --help 2>&1 | grep options:`` to get a list of enabled options.
This should contain at least `frills`, `unicode3` and optionally `iso14755`
if you want to input Unicode characters as well.
Compiler flags example:
--enable-frills \
--enable-unicode3
As long as your terminal emulator is compiled without unicode rendering,
no amount of configuration will make it display unicode characters.
They're being considered 'unnecessary features', but they add negligible
overhead to the size of the installed package (~100KB).
