-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
-       The <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvadd_wch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwadd_wch</STRONG> functions
-       put the complex character <EM>wch</EM> into the given window at its
-       current position, which is then advanced.  These functions
-       perform  wrapping and special-character processing as fol-
-       lows:
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a spacing character, then any  previ-
-           ous  character  at  that  location  is removed.  A new
-           character specified by <EM>wch</EM> is placed at that  location
-           with  rendition  specified  by  <EM>wch</EM>.   The cursor then
-           advances to the next spacing character on the screen.
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If <EM>wch</EM> refers to a non-spacing character, all previous
-           characters  at  that location are preserved.  The non-
-           spacing characters of <EM>wch</EM> are  added  to  the  spacing
-           complex  character, and the rendition specified by <EM>wch</EM>
-           is ignored.
-
-       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   If the character  part  of  <EM>wch</EM>  is  a  tab,  newline,
-           backspace  or  other  control character, the window is
-           updated and the cursor moves as if <STRONG>addch</STRONG> were called.
-
-       The <STRONG>echo_wchar</STRONG> function is functionally  equivalent  to  a
-       call to <STRONG>add_wch</STRONG> followed by a call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>.  Similarly,
-       the <STRONG>wecho_wchar</STRONG> is functionally equivalent to  a  call  to
-       <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>  followed  by  a call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>.  The knowledge
-       that only a single character is being output is taken into
-       consideration and, for non-control characters, a consider-
-       able performance gain might be seen by  using  the  *<STRONG>echo</STRONG>*
-       functions instead of their equivalents.
-
-   <STRONG>Line</STRONG> <STRONG>Graphics</STRONG>
-       Like  <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">curs_addch(3x)</A></STRONG>,  <STRONG>addch_wch</STRONG>  accepts symbols which make it
-       simple to draw lines and  other  frequently  used  special
-       characters.   These  symbols  correspond to the same VT100
-       line-drawing set as <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">curs_addch(3x)</A></STRONG>.

+       All  of these functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue
+       4.  The defaults specified for line-drawing  characters  apply  in  the
+       POSIX locale.
+
+       X/Open  Curses  makes it clear that the WACS_ symbols should be defined
+       as a pointer to <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> data, e.g., in the discussion of <STRONG>border_set</STRONG>.  A
+       few implementations are problematic:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   NetBSD curses defines the symbols as a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> within a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   HPUX curses equates some of the <EM>ACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> symbols to the analogous <EM>WACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG>
+           symbols as if the <EM>ACS</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> symbols were wide  characters.   The  misde-
+           fined  symbols  are the arrows and other symbols which are not used
+           for line-drawing.
+
+       X/Open Curses does not define symbols for thick- or double-lines.  SVr4
+       curses  implementations  defined their line-drawing symbols in terms of
+       intermediate symbols.  This implementation extends those symbols,  pro-
+       viding new definitions which are not in the SVr4 implementations.
+
+       Not  all  Unicode-capable  terminals  provide  support  for VT100-style
+       alternate character sets (i.e., the <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> capability), with their corre-
+       sponding  line-drawing  characters.   X/Open Curses did not address the
+       aspect of integrating Unicode with line-drawing  characters.   Existing
+       implementations  of  Unix curses (AIX, HPUX, Solaris) use only the <STRONG>acsc</STRONG>
+       character-mapping to provide this feature.  As a result,  those  imple-
+       mentations  can  only use single-byte line-drawing characters.  Ncurses
+       5.3 (2002) provided a table of Unicode values to solve these  problems.
+       NetBSD curses incorporated that table in 2010.
+
+       In this implementation, the Unicode values are used instead of the ter-
+       minal description's <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> mapping as discussed in  <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG>  for  the
+       environment  variable  <STRONG>NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS</STRONG>.   In contrast, for the same
+       cases, the line-drawing characters described in <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">curs_addch(3x)</A></STRONG> will use
+       only the ASCII default values.
+
+       Having  Unicode available does not solve all of the problems with line-
+       drawing for curses:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The closest Unicode equivalents to the VT100 graphics  <EM>S1</EM>,  <EM>S3</EM>,  <EM>S7</EM>
+           and  <EM>S9</EM> frequently are not displayed at the regular intervals which
+           the terminal used.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <EM>lantern</EM> is a special case.  It originated with  the  AT&amp;T  4410
+           terminal  in the early 1980s.  There is no accessible documentation
+           depicting the lantern symbol on the AT&amp;T terminal.
+
+           Lacking documentation, most readers assume that a <EM>storm</EM> <EM>lantern</EM> was
+           intended.  But there are several possibilities, all with problems.
+
+           Unicode  6.0  (2010)  does provide two lantern symbols: U+1F383 and
+           U+1F3EE.  Those were not availble in 2002, and are irrelevant since
+           they  lie  outside the BMP and as a result are not generally avail-
+           able in terminals.  They are not storm lanterns, in any case.
+
+           Most <EM>storm</EM> <EM>lanterns</EM> have a tapering glass chimney (to guard against
+           tipping); some have a wire grid protecting the chimney.
+
+           For  the  tapering  appearance,   U+2603 was adequate.  In use on a
+           terminal, no one can tell what the image represents.  Unicode calls
+           it a snowman.
 
-       Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor  move-
-       ment  using  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
-       outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
+           Others  have suggested these alternatives: S U+00A7 (section mark),
+           <STRONG>O</STRONG> U+0398 (theta), <STRONG>O</STRONG> U+03A6 (phi), d U+03B4 (delta),  U+2327 (x in a
+           rectangle),   U+256C  (forms  double  vertical and horizontal), and
+           U+2612 (ballot box with x).
