If that's what you like, it's fine with me =]. So long as
they're differentiated.

I don't make use of the following, so they're not important to
me, but it might be worthwhile to handle these:

U+2BBD BALLOT BOX WITH LIGHT X
U+2718 HEAVY BALLOT X
U+2717 BALLOT X

So far as I'm aware, there's no way to map non-BMP UTF8 (e.g.
U+1F5F6 BALLOT BOLD SCRIPT X) into the console Unicode->font
table, since it only accepts UCS-2 (fixed 16-bit). I'm
interested in putting together the necessary kernel work to
address this, but until then it's not a thing.

Will this work be going upstream? I'm not clear on whether
you're the upstream maintainer, or just Debian's.
