Given that my system displays most major alphabets, and that I can recognize most, the glyphs are more informative for informal purposes than seemingly 'random' codes.

The same goes for me - Konsole displays all sorts of Unicode glyphs just fine. I can actually read Japanese kana and the Cyrillic alphabet a heck of a lot better than I can read Unicode hex escapes, purely because the additional symbols are more distinctive than a relatively arbitrary collection of numbers :)

Cheers,
Nick.
