Any rxvt-Sized Unicode-Aware Terminal Emulators?

Viqsi writes "Just on a lark, I started a short while back to try to convert my environment totally to UTF-8. One of the big hangups that I've run into so far, however, is my X terminal emulator. I've been very happy with rxvt (I tend to have several $XTERMs open at once, so Low Memory is Good!), but it doesn't seem to support anything Unicode. A bit of searching has turned up nothing that isn't as big as or larger than xterm itself. So, the question -- are there any low-memory terminal emulators that support UTF-8, or any other Unicode encoding? (tabbed-window style terminals Don't Count, and that goes double for Konsole!)"
