Hi,

QEMU is unable to display all VGA characters to console output; for
instance, the smiley (VGA character 0x01) is printed just as
\001. However, QEMU links with the wide-character ncurses library,
which can output all VGA characters (since they have Unicode
equivalents). The attached patch switches QEMU to use wide-character
functions, using the VGA character Unicode equivalents from
Wikipedia. It works for me, and I'm hoping something like it would be
acceptable for QEMU.

Thanks for any comments,
Eddie Kohler

***

All VGA console characters have Unicode equivalents, and most
modern terminals can display them.
