This sounds amazing. I hope it does!

I was going for Mexican Spanish, but both interpretations work, cf. cramming symbols together into a lo-fi semblance of the input. Although this might not apply to the kitty/sixel/iterm modes, depending on how you look at it :-)

Oh, that's the stuff.

You can get halfway there if you combine Xvfb's -fbdir option and Chafa's --watch option. Chafa supports the XWD format Xvfb puts out.
Have to do input with xdotool, though :)

I'm already using the Unicode block range, and a little from the symbols, geometry, math and braille ranges. You can turn ranges on/off and combine them in different ways.
There's ASCII too in some of the examples because I think it works pretty well as a complement to blocks, when used for dithering only (--fill ascii).
I'm always looking for more Unicode symbols to put to use, though. I think PETSCII and Teletext symbols are supposed to make it into the standard soon, if they haven't already.
Edit: Forgot to mention TV looks very good, an actual useful tool for big geo images.
Edit 2: Here's the PETSCII etc. proposal: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17435r-terminals-prop.pdf
Will be a blast when/if it gets adopted and font support catches up.

ANSI X3.64 plus almost 30* years of oddball extensions. For a long time, "ANSI codes" or even just "ANSI" was almost synonymous with that (increasingly loosely defined) standard, at least in the context of terminal graphics.
Now I'm not sure that still holds, but I decided the post title didn't need to be even longer and more arcane :)
* Edit: That should be 40, actually. Time flies.

Just in case: My web server kind of went out in a blaze of glory earlier today when the link popped up here. It's a small linode, but I made some adjustments (mysqld, how does it work?), so it should be less bad now. Sorry about that!
