For those interested in learning more about terminal emulators and character graphics, checkout Nick Black's book Hacking the Planet (with Notcurses): A Guide to TUIs and Character Graphics[1].
While the overall focus of the book is on programming with Notcurses[2], the author shares a wealth of related info and history throughout its pages. Note also that Notcurses has evolved quite a bit, but the book is still a nice resource.
