Though "jfbterm" rely on framebuffer (and require Linux 2.2
or later), "kon" does not (and works with older Linux kernel).
[According to the changelog file of "kon", the first test
release was 1992-10-13, obviously when framebuffer was not
available.]

However, I don't know whether Unicode can be implemented
without framebuffer.  Just an information.
