8 years ago Yes you are right, I haven't investigate this yet, but knowing if a specific character is handled by the terminal seems quite hard to achieve (for example on my desktop "⤨" works great with terminator but not on urxvt). An other solution would be to add an parameter to the configuration file.
EDIT: and for a fallback font you can use symbola, I will also add it to the readme. For those who are using urxvt here is how to configure it.
Main reason is that many terminal bitmap fonts do not have have support for these characters. Specifying a fallback font may be best, but I'd rather see it work like so: if support for a character is found, use that character, if not, use a more common replacement.
I don't have any ideas what we could replace these exotics characters with right now.
