Setting TERM incorrectly is *never* the right solution. You should be
using TERM=linux, or perhaps some extension thereof. Finch should be
unaware of the font in use; if the console knows how to pull Unicode
characters out of the font (either because it is a Unicode font, or by
conversion), it ought to work.
