\b The boolean mode \I{IUTF8 terminal mode}\cw{IUTF8} signals to the
server whether the terminal character set is \i{UTF-8} or not.
If this is set incorrectly, actions like backspace may behave
incorrectly in some circumstances. However, setting this is not usually
sufficient to cause servers to expect the terminal to be in UTF-8 mode;
POSIX servers will generally require the locale to be set (by some
server-dependent means), although many default to UTF-8. Also,
\#{circa 2016} many servers (particularly older servers) do not honour
this mode sent over SSH. When set to \q{Auto}, this follows the
local configured character set (see \k{config-charset}).
\b Terminal speeds are configured elsewhere; see \k{config-termspeed}.
