I recently used the Unicode character 'SYMBOL FOR ESCAPE' (U+241B) in a reply:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/zrz87e/but_can_your_ide_do_this/j16mu84/ and was curious how it rendered in lynx. So I pulled up that comment and this test page (which puts it in a UTF8 textbox): https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/241b/browsertest.htm but it looks like it causes weird behaviors. I tried it in several terminals (xterm, urxvt, and st) with a variety of fonts to confirm that the glyph itself renders in some of them. I'd expected that lynx would either render the character directly or transliterate it to something like "[ESC]" like lynx does in some cases with trademark & copyright symbols, using something like "(TM)" and "(C)". But it appeard to do neither. As best I can tell, it gets dropped when it appears in regular HTML, and rendered as some attempt at a Unicode escaping of the numeric form when rendered in a textbox. Testing a few other characters in this Unicode block seems to produce the same behavior. I'm not sure what the solution is here (whether emitting it directly or transliterating it), but figured I'd at least mention it. -tkc
