Research direction

Start by reading the referenced UICatalog/Scenarios/CharacterMap.cs in Terminal.Gui to understand the intended character display, then inspect existing scenario entry points and views in spring-shell. Done means a usable CharacterMap scenario demonstrates how different characters render in the terminal and includes any new views needed to make it easy to use.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area/scenarios

This would be a copy of ideas in https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui/blob/develop/UICatalog/Scenarios/CharacterMap.cs to show how different characters is shown in a terminal via terminal ui. We probably need to build some new views to be able to build this scenario so that it's easy to use.

This is what it looks like in Terminal.Gui.
