<p>The executable uxplay.exe can also be run without the MSYS2
environment, in the Windows Terminal, with
<code>C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin\uxplay</code>.</p>
<p>There is a new modernized Windows Terminal application available from
Microsoft that provides various terminals, and can be customized to also
provide the MSYS2 terminals. See https://www.msys2.org/docs/terminals/
(to make those instructions clearer: in the dropdown “Settings” menu,
there is a second “settings” icon in the lower left corner: click on
that to edit the settings.json file as described).</p>
<p>The server name (-n <name> option) can be given in internationalized
UTF-8 encoding: To enter UTF-8 characters in the MSYS2 or other Windows
terminals, use the numerical keypad with “Num Lock” on: while holding
down the “Alt” key, type “+” on the keypad, followed by the UTF-8 hex
code for the character (using the keypad for numbers), then release the
“Alt” key. (The UTF-8 hex codes have 4 hex digits: for example, the
“copyright” symbol has hex code 00a9.) This method must be activated in
the Windows Registry: using regedit, find the Registry section
HKEY_Current_User/Control Panel/Input Method”, and add a new Key
“EnableHexNumpad” with value “1”, then reboot the computer.</p>
