# UTF-8 Character Sets

So, in my emacs config, I have major modes I use often setup
to display as UTF-8 superscript such as ᴱᴸᴾᴴᴱᴿ for the best
gopher/gemini client. I wrote a shell script that adds an
offset to text on stdin to output circle letters, fraktur,
etc. but it is hit or miss if lowercase lines up (in other
words, it often outputs giberish). Unicode superscript
letters are an even worse case because they are spread
amongst muliple sections - not together and convienient. So
I thought about it and it hit me - figlet. Then I found
circle.tlf and saw I was far from the first to think of
this. So I modified circle.tlf to have the superscipts, and
made a fraktur characters version as well.
