Now that the core vt code knows how to preserve unicode values for each displayed character, it is then possible to let user space access it via /dev/vcs*. Unicode characters are presented as 32 bit values in native endianity via the /dev/vcsu* devices, mimicking the simple /dev/vcs* devices. Unicode with attributes (similarly to /dev/vcsa*) is not supported at the moment. Data is available only as long as the console is in UTF-8 mode. ENODATA is returned otherwise. This was tested with the latest development version (to become version 5.7) of BRLTTY. Amongst other things, this allows ⠋⠕⠗ ⠞⠓⠊⠎ ⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑⠀⠞⠑⠭⠞⠀to appear directly on braille displays regardless of the console font being used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
