You can change your terminal emulation most likely to ansi or something like
that, but I think you'll wind up with traditional cli applications maybe not
displaying correctly.

One piece of advice would be to clone https://github.com/keaston/cp437 -
build it, put it in /usr/local/bin or some place on your path, and then
precede every command relating to ansi with cp437:
cp437 cat ansi.ans

It'll "just work" and you won't have any terminal compatibility issues with
utf8 or anything :)
