Interesting, but any plan to support more than 512 characters?
512 is apparently much less than east Asian people's need.
(For example, Japanese basic character set (JIS X 0208) has
several thousands of characters.  12-year-old Japanese person
should know roughly one thousand characters and adults should
know much more.)
And, how about fullwidth characters (i.e., return value of
wcwidth() is 2) and combining characters (wcwidth() is 0),
like xterm supports them?

I am looking forward to linuxconsole project
http://linuxconsole.sourceforge.net/
Do you know the project?
