I personnaly use unicode rxvt. It's a clone of rxvt that comes with unicode (oh surprising) and with client/server mode to reduce memory usage when you have serveral terms like I used to have. urxvt is also one of the rare terms out there with transparency and whitening the background and not darkening it.
