Multibyte characters are 100% supported, but only if they are available in the chosen font. The fallback fonts feature will resolve this issue for you.

Definitely a bug, and it's one that I knowingly shipped with (usually I just resize my terminal once and then it's static). The events triggering selection seem to work slightly different on macOS than Linux. The issue should be easy to resolve, but this comes down to making time.

How do I enable this feature?

The characters  and ⑂ don't work in Menlo.

 and  do work in Cousine for Powerline font.

In Terminal.App and iTerm2 this works in both fonts. Do those applications also have a fallback fonts feature?

It's mentioned in the article as one of the yet-to-be-implemented features.

Thank you.

Is there a way to command the terminal to enter/exit full screen mode (like iTerm2 has)?
