Yes that's why I also mentioned text labels. (strikethrough ansi codes aren't also fun to type). Besides, where are you needing 7but clean data ? Isn't that a narrow use case ?
It's the robustness principle. "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others." A CLI author shouldn't assume support for UTF-8.
