Still, that covers pretty much *all* terminals under GNU/Linux systems.
And IIUC the same holds for Mac OS X terminals, so the only significant
counter example is the Windows terminals (does putty support/encourage
utf-8?).
But your point still holds true: we want/need to properly handle the
case where the terminal cannot display those chars. I think that
glyphless-char-display-control sounds like a good way to attack
the problem.
