  21. Anybody interested in full emulation of IBM, DEC, Data General, Hewlett
  22. Packard, Siemens Nixdorf, or other terminals in Unicode-based terminal
  23. emulation software probably knows that Unicode lacks some of the special
  24. characters used by these terminals.
  25.  
  26. Work to add them, along with additional debugging capabilities (e.g. for
  27. graphical display of control characters, hex dumps, etc), is in progress.
  28. The current working paper can be found at:
