Any rxvt-Sized Unicode-Aware Terminal Emulators?

Posted by Cliff on from the evolution-of-the-terminal-window dept.

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!)"

    Ask slashdot is becoming increasing ridiculous, with the answer to almost every question found at either google or within OSDN. I don't mean to flame the editors, but it would be good if they would be a little more selective WRT ask slashdot.
