These are cute, but another sign that Unicode is straying from their original mandate which was to represent characters already in use in other systems (and to help bootstrap under-digitized languages to become digital).
Stop adding random emoji. Don't add fictional languages, no matter how cool. Don't do.. this.
By continuing to extend Unicode like this, they risk diluting their core purpose and creating unnecessary complexity. Unicode should remain focused on its original goal and not cater to niche or novel additions.
EDIT: I'm certain there's a proposal submitter out there that contorted the argument beyond the reasonable point that these existed in an old Usborne programming book text as inline images and need to be represented. I'm going to try to hunt it down.

EDIT 2: The original proposal? https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf Some of the proposed characters might have come from an older submission as well https://unicode.org/L2/L2021/21234-terminals-smalltalk.pdf
