Hi! Based on Nicolas' nice work (in tty-next), let's avoid corrupting characters that have been copy+pasted via mouse selection. The uniscr array holds their original identity even if they got mangled by glyph conversion. The glyph conversion lossily turns similar-looking characters into a representation, and everyone else into a replacement character. There's no proper handling for CJK (yet?) but anything of wcwidth()==1 will work fine. The whole thing doesn't get enabled until something reads from /dev/vcsu for that console, but let's test this code first before enabling it widely.
