@tindall@cybre.space have you seen DEC Sixel for terminal graphics? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel
@seachaint @tindall@cybre.space a challenge would be handling the palette based colors that SIXEL uses, as well as the complexity of the RLE commands. Although a pure B&W version might fit nicely along side the Unicode Block Elements.
@th @tindall
Most good modern terminals are unicode aware and support custom fonts.. could sixel be ported to some unused unicode space and supported in a custom font? Could probably even convince the Unicode consortium to bless the assignment.
