The executable uxplay.exe can also be run without the MSYS2 environment,
in the Windows Terminal, with `C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin\uxplay`.
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).
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.
