I do not agree that displaying the graphics is better.
It might seem so at first sight, but there are problems later on: for
instance, you can't search for the 8bit graphics characters by typing
Latin-1 characters, and people will surely be *very* surprised that
they can't find their characters!
Maybe it would be useful to highlight the graphics characters in some
way so that it is clear that they aren't normal characters.
