Results

This is a volunteer-maintained analysis created by and for terminal emulator and TUI/CLI library developers.

We welcome productive contributions and corrections to improve the accuracy and completeness of these measurements.

Note

These test results are provided as-is and we do not guarantee their correctness. The scores and ratings presented here are objective measurements of Unicode and terminal feature support by analysis of automatic response, and should not be interpreted as an overall assessment of terminal emulator quality or a recommendation. Many factors beyond Unicode support contribute to terminal quality. Some terminals may optionally support features and modes not represented here. This data represents only automatic responses received when launched in their default configurations and packaged build options. Some languages and emoji tests may also pass ‘accidentally’!

Truecolor Detection

This table shows which methods can be used to detect 24-bit truecolor support for each terminal emulator. no cells are yellow when only COLORTERM detects support (COLORTERM environment variable is not forwarded over SSH without SendEnv / AcceptEnv configuration), grey when at least one other method succeeds, and red when no method can detect Truecolor support.

OSC 52 Clipboard Detection

This table shows which methods can be used to detect OSC 52 clipboard support for each terminal emulator. DA1 extension 52 is the mechanism defined by the vt-extensions spec; XTGETTCAP Ms is an alternative capability query that may work on terminals not advertising the DA1 extension.

Terminal Identification

This table shows which methods can be used to identify the terminal software name and version. XTVERSION, XTGETTCAP TN, and ENQ are active escape sequence queries (work over SSH). TERM_PROGRAM and TERM are environment variables; TERM_PROGRAM is not forwarded over SSH without SendEnv / AcceptEnv configuration, while TERM is (though some protocols such as Serial do not forward TERM).

• Full XTGETTCAP capability support (20.0%): AbsoluteTelnet/SSH, Rio, WezTerm, contour, foot, ghostty, iTerm2, kitty. A full terminfo(5) database can be reconstructed from XTGETTCAP queries using ttyscan. A preferred TERM from TN, and COLORTERM=truecolor from RGB may be derived.

• Partial XTGETTCAP capability support (17.5%): GNOME Terminal, LXTerminal, TeraTerm, Terminator, XFCE Terminal, XTerm, mlterm. A preferred TERM from TN, and COLORTERM=truecolor from RGB may be derived.

• Non-compliant (7.5%): Apple_Terminal, QTerminal, cool-retro-term – failed to parse DCS queries, displaying raw sequence output.

This table shows XTGETTCAP terminfo capability values reported by each terminal. Terminals are grouped by shared values for each capability.

Performance

Note

Test duration and resources used is not an indicator of software quality.

We make a best effort to track CPU and System Memory for linux systems, only. Docker and cgroups are used to enforce a 2 CPU limit but it is not reliable. Many terminals use GPU memory not tracked. Some terminals perform differently under docker. Further, some have complex process groups, chrome, or OS-integration of shared resources that may not be accurately reflected here.

The Resources score combines CPU, memory, and runtime into a single 0-100 metric. See per-terminal pages for calculation details.

CPU usage during test execution, all terminals overlaid.

RSS memory usage during test execution, all terminals overlaid.

Trade-off between mean CPU % and total test duration. Dots near the origin use less CPU and less time. Dashed contours show equal CPU × time product (lower percentile = better).

Total test duration for each terminal, sorted fastest to slowest. Log scale on the X axis.
