Unicode symbols with Windows CMD fallbacks
Windows CMD only supports a limited character set.
All checks run at compile time, if you need a run time solution please let me know and will consider adding support for it.
The new windows terminal and integrated VsCode terminal fully support Unicode symbols.
Based from npm figures by sindresorhus.
$ nimble install figures
See the source for supported symbols.
To use unicode in windows you must change the codepage. By default it sets up
chcp on startup, to disable this functionality and manually set it up define
nochcp.
