Yeah? u is for Unicode, r is for reduced (as compared
to xterm, urxvt and rxvt requires less computer power),
x is for X, and vt is for virtual terminal.

I don't think either reads TERM, it is just an
environmental variable that describes the current
setup. If you wish to have this reflected in the prompt
string, you can read TERM and then setup PS depending
on what was read.
