You get "rubout" characters or whatever. Nothing else can be done. I think that you're asking "how do I display red when I don't have red" and the answer is, you don't. To be really retro about it, if I'm reading email on a VT-100 and someone includes a UTF-8 arabic character in the email address, I'm out of luck; it can't be displayed. Are we making a bigger issue out of this than necessary? There are very few actual VT-100s left in the work outside of the Computer History Museum. Most people use devices that can support Unicode. This is like our old discussion about supporting non-Posix systems. Who gets left in the dust if we go Unicode? Is it a significant portion of the user base?
