Oh god no, the reason I use TUI is to get away from all this graphical rendering shit. What's wrong with ASCII art? If your TUI is too much for even bloated Unicode to handle, you've probably already wandered into the lands of the GUI and you should probably just be honest with yourself and stay there.
Some people are just elitist.
"Ew? You use the GUI? I'm way better since I do that from the terminal".
But since the terminal has a shit UI, they do all sort of things for it to resemble a GUI more. So they can have the convenience of a GUI while not hurting their pride.
