DESCRIPTION
     (International Functions)

     vi can process and display characters from supplementary code sets
     using a consistent user interface.

     All processing is in character units, not columns or bytes. Accord-
     ingly, in Command mode, vi recognizes arguments to indicate the number
     of characters.

     Regular expression processing is also performed on characters, not
     bytes. Character classes and ranges may include supplementary charac-
     ters as in ed(1).

     A multi-column character near the edge of the screen could split over
     two screen lines. When this occurs, vi displays the same number of
     ASCII > characters (split over the two screen lines) as the split
     character's display width, in place of the multi-column character.

     Commands:

     rx, fx, Fx, tx, Tx
          The accompanying argument x must be a single-byte character.
