This will require some refactoring to the way mosaics are handled as the new code points do not define separate glyphs for solid and separated mosaics.

Experimental support is now available by running teletext -u <subcommand> (it must be before the subcommand). Separated glyphs are not yet supported. This will also affect HTML output and a font suitable for use with browsers is not yet available.

Using unicode to render teletext in terminals is currently not possible due to the lack of support for separated/solid mosaics. On hold until something happens on that front.

An update to the unicode spec has been proposed to add seperated and solid mosaics at different codepoints. It will be a few years until it is widely available.
