You need a shell capable of displaying unicode (utf8)	[reply]

I suppose my shell is capable of displaying unicode (utf8). When I run this `perl -CO -E 'say "\x{263a}"'` I get this output ☺	[reply] [d/l]

We need a terminal capable of handling combining marks. `$ perl -CS -MUnicode::Normalize -E'say NFC("\xE9")' é $ perl -CS -MUnicode::Normalize -E'say NFD("\xE9")' e` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
