Unicode roguelike

Why not have a Unicode roguelike? It'd be the best roguelike ever. Just think of all the stuff you could represent with the dozens of thousands of characters there are. It'd require a large font like Code2000 (which can be obtained for free), and an engine to display these characters in a fixed-width fashion if the font isn't. Or a special terminal emulator. Or a very good Unicode terminal font. I've picked a few examples; just a few, to show you what can be done. Requires a good browser and a good collection of Unicode fonts on your part.

Use MS Gothic, it's already monospaced.
