It does. At least the less package used on SuSE Linux supports Unicode
and this is basically jless with some
Thanks to all who have answered my questions. I was unclear
w.r.t. the backspace character: It isn't needed for positioning (this
is done internally in grotty before the output is emitted) but for
signalling that a character should be underlined or rendered bold.[1]
