SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 0/4] have the vt console preserve unicode characters
[quoted lines by Adam Borowski on 2018/06/19 at 15:09 +0200]

Not at all. We braille users, especially when working with languages other than
English, need more than 256 non-braille characters. Even for those who can live
with just 256 non-braille characters, it's still a major pain having to come up
with a usable braille-capable font for every needed 256 non-braille characters
set. I can assure you, as an actual braille user, that the limitation has been
a very long-standing problem and it's a great relief that it's finally been
resolved.
