But it's trivial to make that choice as a user.

- In your profile set XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/.app-defaults.
- Create a directory $HOME/.app-defaults.
- Create a file $HOME/.app-defaults/XTerm with the entry:
  *faceName: x:fixed,xft:Noto Mono
- and possibly something like:
  *faceSIze: 9

N.B. I'm using:

*faceName: x:fixed,xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

but that might lack the codepoints you need.
