Glad you found it useful. You don't have to use unicode if you don't want to, of course. Spartan uses the same gemtext format that Gemini does. A big appeal to me is that it's easier to write gemtext files that gophermaps. Gophermaps feel like a kludge in comparison.
The cool thing about something like Spartan is that you could implement a browser on a microcontroller. HTML would be a lost cause. Imagine something like an ESP32 with a touch-screen. You could create a complete browsing device for less than 25 quid, say. Likewise for gopher.
If I may be permitted a small plug, I have a forked version of the bombadillo browser here:

You can use it on a terminal. It allows you to browse Spartan, which the original does not. It also allows a printing facility, so that you can pipe output to another process.
