Emacs. That's how we display "glyphless" characters on a TTY.

By checking whether the character belongs to one of the charsets
supported by the terminal. We call char_charset with the list of
charsets supported by the terminal frame; that charset list is set by
set-terminal-coding-system-internal. See the end of
term.c:produce_glyphs.

We could discover this in advance (e.g., using char-displayable-p) and
use a display table, for example.
