Re: "New Unicode chars for “Legacy computing!”"
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.
