I grew up with xterm and can still remember switching to rxvt-unicode to finally get UTF-8 support (The distro I was using back then made the switch to all UTF-8).
Konsole is fine for me: It just works

Im still grateful for the project. It was my gateway to a professional career in embedded linux development.
