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>`{=html} 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.
