Question: What kind of replacement should I use? I want something that's
available on all current Linux consoles.
There were two recommendations:
1) Don't use CSI.
I tend to agree - there is not really any reason to use this
instead of ESC [. I wonder whether there is anything that
uses it. Maybe it can just be removed from the kernel console.c.
2) Don't use ESC ( K.
That makes the use of fonts with embedded Unicode glyph maps
impossible, unless you put the console into UTF-8 mode.
