This needs an option to use the Kitty Graphics Protocol: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/

No need to render to ASCII/Unicode anymore!

Yes I agree, there is also sixel format but I think that sixel is generally used for pngs etc. but both are really cool imo.

		It already exists for Sixel: https://github.com/saitoha/xserver-sixel ...but at that point X forwarding or VNC seems more useful.
