* Default: false on windows, true on mac/unix systems with a unicode locale,
  as defined by the `LC_ALL`, `LC_CTYPE`, or `LANG` environment variables.
* Type: Boolean

When set to true, npm uses unicode characters in the tree output. When

#### `otp`

* Default: null

This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed
when publishing or changing package permissions with `npm access`.
