Dave Izon (who's working on a PETSCII/Sprites Ghostbusters game) has mocked up PETSCII/sprites Tripods:

It looks like the 1984-5 TV show, naturally

Unicode support for retro computer character sets - Is this finally happening? :o https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf
I've dreamt of this for decades! I mean, Unicode gave us U+1F4A9 (PILE OF POO) but still could not represent valid C64 filenames...
Whereas some platforms have had unofficial mappings in the Unicode custom area (such as PETSCII: http://www.df.lth.se/~triad/krad/recode/petscii.html) support has been limited and sometimes competing with other custom mappings. This is a huge deal for preserving content in a portable fashion for the future, and even for tooling and accessories still being built for our beloved retro machines.
