Re: "New Unicode chars for “Legacy computing!”"
GNU Unifont is already updated to unicode 16.0

Very cool news! Thank you very much for calling attention to it.
New Unicode chars for “Legacy computing!” — The Unicode Consortium just published a new set of Unicode characters and I am so incredibly excited — they are basically all for Terminals and ASCII art and game sprite and stuff! They are specifically designed for retrocomputing. Amazing new little sprites (love the little racecars); large circle drawing characters; LOADS of new block characters for ASCII art; outlined letters, chess characters… This is excellent.
