This also introduces a problem where the character you propose
requires support to display.  With ASCII, one can be reasonably
confident that a lot of interfaces will be able to display it.  But
that char (like the curly quotes you use?) becomes an accessibility
issue once the information has to be displayed on, say, a latin1
terminal (or rather: a terminal that can't do UCS).

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.

urxvt -- using it right now.

Note that to actually display characters your font files do need glyphs
for the codepoints you are trying to display.  But a font lacking a
glyph for a given codepoint is not urxvt's fault.
