NUXI problem /nuk'see pro'bl*m/ n.
Refers to the problem of transferring data between machines with differing byte-order. The string `UNIX' might look like `NUXI' on a machine with a different `byte sex' (e.g., when transferring data from a [little-endian] to a [big-endian], or vice-versa). See also [middle-endian], [swab], and [bytesexual].
