It would be different if I worked in chinese or hindi or something, or worked with other people who do. Also worth noting that even terminals that score badly on this benchmark handle most of the things you mention just fine (e.g. accented characters or check marks -- unicode that is well-behaved in terms of mapping a single code point to a single fixed width character). The places where the poorly ranked terminals lose points is mostly in pretty complicated cases that are far from what terminals were originally designed for. Also I have never encountered a command line tool that prints emoji -- and if I did, I would be annoyed.
