Indeed it is. One use of Unicode I do is for icons that can be used by console programs like (neo)vim. I was quite happy that xterm supports Unicode these days

Indeed it is. One use of Unicode I do is for icons that can be used by console programs like (neo)vim. I was quite happy that xterm supports Unicode these days so I can use a fast terminal that supports OSC52 system clipboard integration(none of the newer gnome/KDE terminals do). I was rather disappointed when I noticed my pretty Unicode icons would sometimes end up cut in half :-(
