> 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

```sh
npm install is-unicode-supported
```

## Usage

```js
import isUnicodeSupported from "@so1ve/is-unicode-supported";

isUnicodeSupported();
// => true
```

## API

### isUnicodeSupported()

Returns a `boolean` for whether the terminal supports Unicode.
