I found wide character support to be surprisingly good across the terminal emulators I tried on macOS and Linux.
This testing was done earlier this year when I was building support for Unicode variable names into my $SHELL (more to support foreign languages than glyphs but the end result is the same)
It’s worth noting that wider character support needs to be implemented in both the terminal emulator AND and the console applications that run on the terminal emulator too.
- Sesse__ 3y agoSo which ones support the ZWJ sequences correctly and fully?
- hnlmorg 3y agoI cannot claim to have tested every ZWJ character on every terminal emulator but if you find any ZWJ related bugs in murex shell https://GitHub.com/lmorg/murex https://GitHub.com/lmorg/murex then it will be treated as a serious bug because Murex does have international users so aims for greater compatibility with other language writing systems (albeit the documentation is presently only available in English).
