It's a bit sad that many of the ETSI EN 300 706 V1.2.1 graphics characters (1, section 15.7.2) are not available in Unicode. I am maintaining a small program that renders images directly in the terminal using unicode block graphics characters (2), and these would come really handy to enhance the conversion... 1) https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/300700_300799/300706/01... 2) https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer
