Re:Why GNU moe does not use UTF-8 or other form of Unicode? by Dylan16807 on Wednesday January 19, 2022 @01:11AM (#29990555)
There are some silly performance claims in there, but I think my favorite part is "An Unicode text console is both a danger and a waste. The right mode for presenting a large variety of complex glyphs is graphical mode using a specialized program."

That console's already using multiple megabytes just as a frame buffer. Some extra fonts are not going to be a problem.

(Also how exactly are they pronouncing "Unicode"?)
