  I don't understand it. It appears to split pixels in two (check the special unicode ascii art character on line 142[0]), not in four as the screenshot would suggest. Is that special character half-width in certain terminals, or something? EDIT: ahhh I got it! Before this commit, they printed out two spaces for a single pixel to closer resemble a square, because most terminal fonts are much taller than they're wide. They replaced that by a single character that has one color in the top half and one color in the bottom half. Each of those halves, again, are almost square (HN doesn't let me display the character here, it filters out certain unicode ranges) [0] https://github.com/trashhalo/imgcat/commit/1f9ef8c888fa93e1eedc591115431bbd1897d944#diff-2873f79a86c0d8b3335cd7731b0ecf7dd4301eb19a82ef7a1cba7589b5252261R142 https://github.com/trashhalo/imgcat/commit/1f9ef8c888fa93e1e...
