+# When using Unicode glyphs, care must be taken with how terminals
+# render them and how completely fonts cover them.
+#
+# Depending on the font, terminal, and operating system, unsupported
+# glyphs may be replaced by placeholder symbols (e.g. � U+FFFD
+# replacement character or □ U+25A1 white square), omitted entirely, or
+# substituted from fallback fonts. Such fallback can introduce visual
+# inconsistencies due to differences in style, metrics, or alignment.
+#
+# Support for glyphs defined in the Windows Glyph List 4
+# (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WGL4) is generally good across common
+# fonts and platforms. Beyond that baseline, coverage becomes less
+# predictable and should be evaluated case by case.
+#
+# Emoji support often is problematic, and wide glyphs occupy two display
+# columns, which NetHack does not support.
+#
+# Symset Enhanced1 should be considered the conservative Unicode symset,
+# while Enhanced2 (and any future symsets) may make use of more advanced
+# Unicode features.
