   it feels kind of lame that BBS systems still use codepages.   
      
   my term (ZOC) obviously is just translating CP437 to my UTF-8 font and it   
   displays all the line drawing and pseudo graphic characters (imo) better than   
   almost all the retro fonts ever did..   
      
   so i've been a long time IRC user and one day someone, or noone, basically   
   decided IRC was going to be UTF-8 and if you couldn't read what was written   
   too bad.
