I've seen in your patch that you are converting the text to ucs-2. which is, as you probably know, only a subset of unicode 4.0 and hence doesn't cover all UTF-8 supported characters. I guess that most (probably all) Unicode character beyond the scope of ucs-2 aren't used widely. I doubt that someone uses "Ancient Greek Musical Notation"-characters in a terminal application, but wouldn't it be better to support the whole UTF-8 character set, even if it is only for the sake of completeness?
