Subject: ui: replace non-BMP braille char U+1FB10 with U+28FF
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b778acdf3ba1dc18e7e4bbd8babba30b036f41ea;p=thirdparty%2Fmtr.git

ui: replace non-BMP braille char U+1FB10 with U+28FF

🮐 (U+1FB10) lives outside the Basic Multilingual Plane and requires
a UTF-16 surrogate pair when wchar_t is 16 bits (Windows, Cygwin).
Passing a surrogate pair to wide-char ncurses functions produces
corrupted output on those platforms.

Replace all three uses with ⣿ (U+28FF), the filled braille pattern,
which is the visually closest BMP character and avoids the issue on
any platform where sizeof(wchar_t) == 2.
