Seems to work fine for gb & big5 dictionaries with the corresponding input. Default: /usr/sbin/lib/cxterm/dicts/TONEPY.tit

-k

Keep - keep any characters not found ie. print them to stdio. Default: displays ???

-c file_name

Character file of not found characters; not with -k!

-m

Multisearch - displays all possible matches of characters instead of just the first match.

Other dictionaries can be used instead of the default one with the command line switch -D dictionary_file_name.
