00:43:01 #retro <crc> yes
09:12:49 #retro <veltas> Would it handle characters that combine? I'm not even sure how terminals handle such characters
09:13:54 #retro <veltas> Surely any terminal that supports emoji would also allow you to read the col/row position?
15:08:44 #retro <crc> I don't know that I have anything using characters that combine for testing with
15:11:23 #retro <veltas> Like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character
15:12:57 #retro <veltas> I personally wonder why they didn't just make terminals require backspaces per byte of output, feels like they've shrugged a lot of code on people implementing prompts
16:20:30 #retro <crc> Testing a few, combining characters display correctly in the output under windows terminal (am at work), and are stored as two characters in the strings
16:47:15 #retro <veltas> Nice
