title: Terminal: UTF8 chars "overlapping" even with fixed width font
body: <p>I was doing a visualization in this years <a href="http://adventofcode.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">adventofcode</a>. My first stab just used plain ascii chars <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuEnRBrcdiA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">video here</a>. Then I saw this image <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xiGfC.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xiGfC.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Which I thought was really nice. However, when I attempted to put in these chars, they completely overlapped.</p>

  <p>Is there a nice way to do this? I've tried installing <a href="http://www.unifoundry.com/unifont.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">gnu unifont</a> as that sounded like a decent start, but no joy.</p>
  
  <p>How do I use the terminal to print "letters" like this and have them come out nicely? I might be missing something fundamental about terminals + UTF8. If it matters, I'm using OSX terminal app, <a href="https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/patched-fonts/AnonymousPro/complete/Anonymice%20Powerline%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono.ttf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Anonymice Powerline Nerd Font Complete Mono font</a>.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT</p>
  
  <p>Yes, the font didn't contain items which were encoded correctly (or was falling back?! if that's even possible, to items which weren't encoded correctly)</p>
  
  <p>I ended up using <a href="http://www.fonts2u.com/symbola.font" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the symbola font</a> which, while not perfect, means I can draw this:</p>

  <p>which is good enough!</p>
