| > Detect whether the terminal supports Unicode | |
| This can be useful to decide whether to use Unicode characters or fallback ASCII characters in command-line output. | |
| Note that the check is quite naive. It just assumes all non-Windows terminals support Unicode and hard-codes which Windows terminals that do support Unicode. However, I have been using this logic in some popular packages for years without problems. | |
| ## Install | |
| ``` | |
| $ npm install is-unicode-supported | |
| ``` | |
| ## Usage | |
| ```js | |
| const isUnicodeSupported = require('is-unicode-supported'); | |
| isUnicodeSupported(); | |
| //=> true | |
| ``` | |
| ## API | |
| ### isUnicodeSupported() | |
| Returns a `boolean` for whether the terminal supports Unicode. | |
