I have never seen a Unicode-capable terminal myself, and, while I've not
done much sampling, I doubt they're in any way common or frequent.

Xterm, foot, urxvt, konsole, xfce term....pretty much every modern
terminal.

That is nitpicking.

I used the terminology adequately and let a note in the post where I
made that use, and the post was precisely about something that also was
likely to affect terminals.

Calling this "nitpicking" is maybe going a bit too far. Maybe I should
have moved the note out of the signature block, but still... if it gets
filed under that no matter whether the person actually did try to make
the meaning clearer, people may feel tempted to just drop any effort to
clarify things in communication.

I actually had a serial terminal on my desk until 2003, but that was a
gag. I occasionally used it to connect to the serial console when I
had a router on my desk, but of course I could easily have used a
serial port on my desktop PC.
