+.B Dumb Frotz
+supports Unicode glyphs by way of UTF-8 if the terminal used supports
+UTF-8.  If you prefer using xterm, start it as uxterm.  This is a
+wrapper script that sets up xterm with UTF-8 locale.  You can also
+manually tell an xterm to switch into UTF-8 mode by holding CTRL and the
+right mouse button to bring up the VT FONTS menu.  Depending on how
+xterm was installed, you may see an option for "UTF-8 Fonts" which will
+allow Unicode to be properly displayed.
+
+Getting normal xterm to behave like this all the time can vary from
+system to system.  Other terminal emulators have their own ways of being
+set to use UTF-8 character encoding.
+
+If you are using some sort of wrapper around
+.B dfrotz,
+and want to make use of Unicode, it is the responsibility of the wrapper
+to make sense of characters passed back and forth.
