Feature Request: Add text to braille art/ unicode block chars

[FredHappyface]

Description

Add text to braille art so for instance the letter 'A' would become...

2 high - 6 dot braille
4*6

⠮⠇
⠃⠃

Windows Terminal

Similar to https://hackaday.io/project/6309-vga-graphics-over-spi-and-serial-vgatonic/log/20759-a-tiny-4x6-pixel-font-that-will-fit-on-almost-any-microcontroller-license-mit
or https://robey.lag.net/2010/01/23/tiny-monospace-font.html

2 high - 8 dot braille
6*8

⡮⠭⡆
⠇⠀⠇

Windows Terminal

Similar to https://www.dafont.com/minecraftia.font

Something similar could be achieved with unicode 13 chars https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1FB00.pdf

Alternatively the older unicode 3.2 block elements could be used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements
3 high - unicode block
4*6

Hi @FredHappyface
Thanks for your comment 🥇
Sorry, I'm a bit busy these days. We will add this type of font in a future release (next few months)
Keep it open.

Best Regards

Hi @FredHappyface
As you may know, we added these fonts from fsymbols, and we only added 3 (out of 8).
We have a plan to add the remaining fonts in the next version (5.5), so this issue will be closed automatically after release.

Thanks for getting back to me so soon! And that's great, thank you :)
