I think the latest SyncTERM already supports the xterm-256color palette.

If by "unicode" you're refering to UTF-8 support in SyncTERM, yeah, that's on Deuce's todo list.

Sure, but I'm not likely the one to do most of that work (in SyncTERM), that'd be Deuce. I think the *only* place that Decue accepts SyncTERM feature requests/discussion these days is https://sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/feature-requests/
so I'd bring it up or chime-in there.
